Iran on Monday accused Israel of being behind a sabotage attack on an underground nuclear facility and warned that there would be a response.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh blamed Israel for the act of “nuclear terrorism” that took place on Sunday, The Associated Press reports.
The news service notes that Israel has not claimed responsibility for the attack, though Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Benjamin (Bibi) NetanyahuMORE has previously said that he would do anything to stop Iran’s nuclear program, calling it an “existential threat” to his country.
