Israel considers Iran its biggest threat. They have sabotaged Iran’s nuclear work in the past. Sometimes the sabotage has been in collaboration with the U.S.
Israel has also been accused of orchestrating the assassinations of several Iranian nuclear scientists. The latest killing took place last November with an ambush Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the primary developer of its nuclear program.
Israel, as a matter of policy, will not confirm or deny its involvement.
American defense secretary, Lloyd J. Austin III, was visiting Israel on the day that Natanz was attacked. And he was meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the country’s defense minister, Benny Gantz.
It is not known if the Natanz attack was discussed.
