Explosion Destroys Power System at Natanz Uranium Enrichment Site
(New York Times) Ronen Bergman - Two intelligence officials said a large explosion at Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment site on Sunday completely destroyed the internal power system that supplies the underground centrifuges that enrich uranium. Officials said it could take at least nine months to restore Natanz's production. Iranian experts dismissed speculation that a cyberattack caused the power loss. The Natanz complex has its own power grid, multiple backup systems and layers of security protection. The intelligence officials said it was indeed a detonation of explosives.
