The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, Ali Akbar Salehi, announced on Sunday that a „number of saboteurs“ had been caught “red-handed” before they could carry out their plan.

„Four of these individuals were caught red-handed and their interrogations are ongoing,“ he said, according to the Mehr news agency on Sunday. Salehi did not elaborate on any of the details of the alleged plot to sabotage Iranian nuclear facilities and did not specify the nuclear sites that were targeted.
