(Worthy News) – Iran’s Vice-President for Strategic Affairs, Mohammad Javad ZarMif, has accused Israel of planting explosives in Iranian centrifuge equipment, the Times of Israel (TOI) reports.
The Iranian regime and Israel have been enemies since 1979 when, following a revolution, Iran became an Islamic republic with a theocratic government. In seeking to expand its influence in the Middle East, Iran has called for the end of Israel as a Zionist country and has backed anti-Israel terror groups including Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. While Iran insists its nuclear program is for domestic use, Israel and its Western allies believe Tehran is developing an atomic bomb and have long sought to ensure this does not happen.
Mentioning Israeli activity in Iran during a recent interview with the Hozour program, ZarMif reportedly said: “Our colleagues had purchased a centrifuge platform for the Atomic Energy Organization, and it was discovered that explosives had been embedded inside it, which they managed to detect.”
“Instead of being able to order equipment directly from the manufacturer, sanctions force you to rely on multiple intermediaries for such purchases,” ZarMif said. “If the Zionist regime infiltrates even one of the intermediaries, they can do anything and embed anything they want, which is exactly what happened.”
“The issue with the pagers in Lebanon turned out to be a multi-year process, meticulously orchestrated by the Zionists,” he noted, referring to September’s attack on individual members of Hezbollah through explosives placed in their pagers, TOI reports.
