Iran's Ali Akbar Salehi calls outage at nuclear plant an act "nuclear terrorism". @MarkTFitz tells me Israel is taking matters into its own hands to show there are ways other than diplomacy to slow Iran's nuclear progress https://t.co/0MEMjkYn5Z

It was sabotage, no cyberattack. And note American and Israeli intel confirming it to NYT. Mossad’s penetration of Iran is extensive. https://t.co/EIB5Hwim42 pic.twitter.com/CVbostLsEh

Leave aside the damage done to Iran’s nuclear program in this operation; the messaging here isn’t hard to parse.

So the goal here is twofold, as I see it: Hinder the program for its own sake and signal to Washington (assuming this wasn’t a joint operation—and it may have been) that time is on its side, not Tehran’s. https://t.co/aJbbJthuhD

Israel just gave ⁦@USEnvoyIran⁩ increased leverage. Hope he uses it.

“Iran’s leverage in new talks sought by the Biden administration to restore the nuclear agreement could be significantly compromised.” https://t.co/yTXita1qxY
