Iranian official media reported that the country’s authorities thwarted a sabotage attempt targeting a building of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization in Karaj (west of Tehran), adding that the attack did not result in casualties or material losses, and did not affect Iran’s nuclear activities.
The Nournews news agency, which is close to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said that “investigations are underway to identify the perpetrators and determine the circumstances of the incident.”
“The aggressive attempt took place early today, Wednesday, but it did not result in any casualties or damage, thanks to the strict security measures that were imposed after similar acts of sabotage targeting Iranian nuclear sites and scientists,” Iran’s English-language Press TV channel reported. .

The Iranian media did not provide any details about the targeted building and its location, or the nature of the attack, which comes at a time when Tehran and the major powers are engaged in the final stage of talks to revive the agreement on Iran’s nuclear program, from which the United States unilaterally withdrew three years ago.
Iran accused Israel of launching several attacks on facilities related to its nuclear program and assassinating its nuclear scientists in the past years. Israel has neither denied nor confirmed the accusations.
Among the latest attacks was the targeting of the “Natanz” uranium enrichment facility, which includes Iran’s most important nuclear reactors, last April. Iran officially accused Israel of carrying out the attack on the facility located 260 km south of Tehran, and vowed revenge.
