DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran’s top diplomat said on Tuesday that an attack on its Natanz nuclear facility which it blames on Israel was a “very bad gamble” that would strengthen Tehran’s hand in talks to revive a 2015 nuclear deal with major powers.
Tehran has said an explosion on Sunday at its key nuclear site was an act of sabotage by arch-foe Israel and vowed revenge for an attack that appeared to be latest episode in a long-running covert war. Israel, which the Islamic Republic does not recognise, has not formally commented on the incident.

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) said on its website that each reactor will be active approximately for six months, and this will be the power station’s final period of operation before moving into the defueling phase. (Reporting by Bozorgmehr Sharafedin; Editing by Kirsten Donovan)
