Iran official says sabotage caused fire at Natanz nuclear site

Well done, invisible saboteur! The Jerusalem Post adds:
The Jerusalem Post was the first to report that around three-quarters of the facility for advanced centrifuge development had probably been destroyed and that this could delay the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s large scale deployment of such centrifuges for between one to two years.

Former Israeli and US intelligence officials told the Post that they believed the earth-shattering kaboom was most likely the result of an old-fashioned physical sabotage operation, despite speculation that it could have been a cyber attack.

Though an unknown supposed Iranian dissident group called the Homeland Cheetahs took credit for the earth-shattering kaboom, former intelligence officials said that if such dissidents were involved in an operation of that size, it was likely with help from some combination of the US, Israel or Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
According to foreign sources, during the 2009-2010 period, Israel and the US used the Stuxnet computer virus to sabotage between 1,000-2,000 centrifuges in a different facility also at Natanz.
