The operation similar to the one with Hezbollah's pagers was being prepared.
‘Israel tried to do the same trick with our uranium enrichment centrifuges as it did with Hezbollah's pagers, but we managed to detect the explosives in time’.’ This statement was made by Iranian Vice President and former Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
This was reported on the night of Wednesday, January 15, by the website of Channel 12, referring to Zarif's interview with an Iranian TV programme.
According to the vice president, American sanctions are to blame for everything. Because of them, instead of acquiring uranium enrichment equipment directly and legally, Iran is forced to use a complex supply chain through intermediaries. And where there is a supply chain, there is always an additional risk for Iran's security, as Israel can always infiltrate this chain. Which it did.
Zarif did not give details of the incident, he did not even say where exactly the explosives in the centrifuges were found: whether they were found in Iran or in some other intermediary. He said only that it had been discovered and disposed of. The explosion of Hezbollah's pagers and other communications equipment in September 2024 was cited by the vice president as an example. ‘This was also the result of a long process of infiltrating the supply chain in Lebanon,’ Zarif said, and once infiltrated there, the Zionists can do anything.’
Back then, in September, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) withdrew the pagers it owned from service and tested them. At the same time, Iran's Civil Aviation Organisation banned the use of electronic communications on commercial flights, including mobile phones. ‘These are, in fact, just some of the losses that sanctions have caused,’ Mohammad Javad Zarif summarised.
