Iran has blamed Israel for a sabotage attack on its underground Natanz nuclear facility that damaged its centrifuges.
The incident imperils ongoing talks over its tattered nuclear deal and brings a shadow war between the two countries into the light.
Israel has not claimed responsibility for the attack.
It rarely does for operations carried out by its secret military units or its Mossad intelligence agency.

However, Israeli media widely reported that the country had orchestrated a devastating cyberattack that caused a blackout at the nuclear facility.
