TEHRAN: Iran state television has named a suspect in the attack that damaged centrifuges at its Natanz nuclear site and says he fled the country.
The report Saturday named the suspect as Reza Karimi.
It showed a passport-style photograph of a man it identified as Karimi.
The report also aired what appeared to be an Interpol “red notice” seeking his arrest. The arrest notice was not immediately accessible on Interpol’s public-facing database. Interpol, based in Lyon, France, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The attack Sunday, suspected to have been carried out by Israel, has inflamed a shadow war between the two nations. Iran has begun enriching a small amount of uranium up to 60 percent purity – its highest level ever – in response amid talks in Vienna aimed at saving its tattered nuclear deal with world powers.
