Iran thwarts 'planned sabotage' at Fordow nuclear enrichment plant by a network it accuses Israel of recruiting, according to state media
Fordow is an underground uranium enrichment facility located outside the central city of Qom, around 180 kilometres south of Tehran.
An Israeli officer first contacted a neighbour of an employee of the uranium enrichment plant and managed to recruit them both after paying them in cash and digital currency, the television reported on Monday. The suspects "planned on sabotaging the Fordo facility and were arrested by the intelligence services of the Revolutionary Guards", the IRNA news agency said.
Iran has repeatedly accused US or Israeli agents of spying on and attempting to sabotage its nuclear programme, including by killing scientists.Two years later, Iran said it had arrested several "spies" in Bushehr province, where the country's sole nuclear plant is based.
