Iran’s president has called Tehran’s decision to enrich uranium up to 60% after saboteurs attacked a nuclear site “an answer to your evilness”, linking the incident to ongoing talks in Vienna over its tattered nuclear deal with world powers.
Israel, which has not commented on the attack, is suspected of carrying out the assault last weekend at the Natanz nuclear facility, part of a shadow war between the two countries.
The escalation in enrichment could see further retaliation as Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed never to allow Tehran to obtain a nuclear weapon.
His country has twice pre-emptively bombed nations in the Middle East to stop their atomic programmes.
