A centrifuge production plant above Iran’s Natanz nuclear enrichment facility was damaged by fire and an explosion around 2 a.m. Thursday, according to analysts. A U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration satellite detected the fire from afar. Government spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi and Iranian nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi immediately headed to the site that houses a development program 25 feet underground to protect it from airstrikes.
