Iran blames Israel for nuclear sabotage

Iran has accused four workers of trying to sabotage its nuclear power programme, tacitly blaming Israel for the plot. The Iranian nuclear power chief, Ali Akbar Salehi, said yesterday that the authorities had monitored the suspects as they worked in one of the country’s nuclear facilities and made the arrests at 'exactly the right time'. Although he did not spell out who he believed was responsible, he blamed 'hostile' nations – usually a reference to either Israel or the U.S. – which were opposed to current diplomatic efforts to resolve the row over Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons ambitions. As Iran is currently engaged in an all-out charm offensive with America while Israel has warned the world not to trust the Iranians, experts believe it is obvious where Mr Salehi is pointing the finger of blame. He later claimed Iranian authorities had foiled 'several cases' of similar sabotage attempts in the past 'two or three weeks' but did not elaborate. 'Hostile countries are not interested in finding way out of current situation and they are trying to block agreement on the nuclear case though acts of sabotage.'
