The alleged Israeli attack on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility targeted an electrical substation located 40 to 50 meters underground and damaged "thousands of centrifuges," Iranian officials revealed in recent days.
Fereydoon Abbasi-Davani, former head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, told Iranian media on Monday that the attack hit an electrical substation located deep underground and managed to damage both the power distribution system and the cable leading to the centrifuges in order to cut power to them. The Iranian official stressed that such an operation takes years, saying "the design of the enemy was very beautiful."
Davani added that the substation was built underground in order to protect it from air and missile strikes, and that the attack was carried out either via cyber, sabotaged equipment or sabotage committed by agents. The Jerusalem Post has learned that the attack was carried out through an explosive device that was smuggled into the facility and detonated remotely.
An intelligence official told The New York Times on Tuesday that the attack took out both the primary and backup electrical systems. Apparently, the initial explosion set off secondary explosions, causing even greater damage.

Israel took out the facility that was built to replace the facility they destroyed in June of last year.
In the same manner as the first.
Someday enemies of Israel will learn it’s not wise to F with them.
If true, this is truly a thing of beauty.
If true, this is truly a thing of beauty.
Israel must have a continuous stream of agents on the inside all these years.
The Iranian regime must be looking under every rock and behind every niqab in fear of Israeli agents. I bet its driving them crazy.
Good job !
There is no good “reason of state” for Iran to be an enemy of Israel. It is strictly theological.
Almost sounds like the plot of the AppleTV show “Tehran”
Shocking.
The Israelis had best guard their Iranian assets from CIA compromise.
Lol. Even more Iranian incompetence demonstrated by telling the world what effects the attack had. Lololol.
First rule of Intelligence Policy: Keep your mouth shut.
Second rule of Intelligence Policy: Keep your mouth shut.
Third rule of Intelligence Policy: Keep your mouth shut.
etc.
If Iran can’t build their own nukes, Biden (or whoever is handling him) is likely to just give them a few.
INCREDIBLE!
Hard to believe the descendants of apes and pigs, as the Mullahs often say, could pull off such a beautiful operation.;-)
Not to worry, Biden will send Harris with billions in cash to rebuild Iran’s facility. He can’t build a wall on our border, but he’ll rebuild foreign infrastructure.
Will this now become a habitual occurrence?
Iran should go back to being Persian and Zoroastrian. If they spent more time in fire ceremonies they would spend less time putting out fires.
Israel will not allow Iran to have a nuke, no way, no how.
“Israel must have a continuous stream of agents on the inside all these years.”
That, and the ability to corrupt or intercept the international supply chain.
I would not take this story at face value.
