The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran on Monday prevented a sabotage attempt at a nuclear facility in Fordow, the Tasnim news agency reported.
According to Tasnim, IRGC intelligence eliminated a sabotage group in Fordow.
The Fordow fuel enrichment plant is an underground uranium enrichment facility located 32 km northeast of the Iranian city of Qom, near Fordow village.
The Iranian Mehr news agency reported, citing a local TV station, that sources within the government blame the sabotage attempt on Israel, claiming that Tel Aviv previously attempted to carry out acts of sabotage at Fordow.
According to the report, an employee was given $400 and a laptop to carry out the sabotage at the site, one of Iran's most critical nuclear installations, but before he could complete the job, IRGC intelligence identified and detained him.
