An Iranian nuclear facility was apparently sabotaged and a mysterious dissident group called the 'Homeland Cheetahs' claimed responsibility

A fire on Thursday dealt extensive damage to a building at the nuclear complex at Natanz, Iran's largest uranium enrichment facility

David Albright, the president of the Institute for Science and International Security, told the Times that the facility "wouldn't be prone to these kinds of accidents." A group calling itself the "Homeland Cheetahs" sent a statement to BBC Persian journalists before the AEOI publicly announced the incident. The previously unknown group described itself as an "underground opposition with Iran's security apparatus," and claimed it attacked the building. Very little is known about the group, including whether it genuinely exists.

The Trump administration has been hammering Iran with sanctions as part of a "maximum pressure" campaign designed to pressure Tehran into negotiating a more stringent version of the nuclear deal the president pulled the US out of in May 2018. As part of the deal, Iran agreed to reduce its number of centrifuges by two-thirds. It also agreed to reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by 98% and limit uranium enrichment to 3.67%.

Following Trump's decision to take out Soleimani in early January, Iran announced it would no longer comply with any of the deal's limitations on its nuclear program, including restrictions on uranium enrichment, its amount of stockpiled uranium, and research and development.

I wrote a book (fiction) about Iran getting and using some nuclear weapons. It isn't something that should happen in my opinion.
