Fire Breaks Out At Iranian Factory Linked To Nuclear Program.

The fire broke out in the area where a covert Iranian nuclear facility was destroyed in 2020.
A massive fire that broke out over the weekend at a factory in Iran is reportedly linked to the country’s nuclear program, raising suspicions that the fire was an act of sabotage.
Iran International reported that the fire, which was not widely reported outside Iran, erupted in the Shadabad iron market in Tehran.

Israeli intelligence research center Intelli Times said that the fire “consumed two metal factories that were engaged in the production of chips for parts of centrifuges and valves that can be used by Iran’s nuclear industry.”
The report said that the damage from the fire was cross-referenced with satellite images of the industrial area and maps identifying the companies located at the facilities.
One company that was burned down provides “engineering design and engraving services for the production of centrifugal compressors and valves,” while the other company that was burned down manufactured valves and pipes for the gas industry.
The valves and pipes can also be used by the nuclear industry to support uranium conversion and enrichment plants, the report said.
Andrea Stricker, deputy director and research fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy’s Nonproliferation & Biodefense Program, called attention to the fire in a post on X, saying that it was “something to watch.”
“Israel reportedly not targeting Iranian nuclear sites in upcoming counter-strike may simply mean no aerial bombing,” she said. “Supply chain facilities mysteriously catching fire, exploding, sudden unexplained damage, might be a different story.”
Israel has a long history of sabotaging and destroying Iranian nuclear facilities, including in the area where the fire broke out over the weekend.
Earlier this year, news broke that Iran covered up a covert Israeli operation in July 2020 that resulted in the destruction of an Iranian nuclear facility that was kept secret from international atomic regulators.
Iran International discovered the incident after sifting through millions of documents from Iran’s judiciary and the Ministry of Intelligence that were stolen by hackers.
