Last week, a large explosion at Natanz, just north of Isfahan, destroyed a facility that produced nuclear centrifuges for refining uranium. While Iranian officials say they have reached a conclusion about the cause of the explosion, figures outside Iran that are opposed to the Islamic Republic have either praised the explosion - assuming it was sabotage - or promised they are capable of similar destruction in the West Asian country.

The week prior there was also an explosion at a gas station in Parchin, east of Tehran and host to a large military complex.
