This attack took place at the hot time when US Secretary Of Defence, Lloyd Austin visit Israel which is a first high-official visit from Biden administration in Israel.
Iran's atomic agency stated that the accident affected the site's electrical distribution grid. Due to the accident power was out across the facility's above-ground workshops and underground enrichment holes.
On Saturday the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that Tehran had launched new advanced uranium enrichment centrifuges at the plant.
Several centrifuges were damaged in a fire last year, an incident Tehran called an act of sabotage.
