In 2010, the Stuxnet computer virus, attributed to the U.S. and Israel, caused breakdowns of centrifuge cascades. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/middle-east\/israels-decades-long-battle-against-irans-centrifuges-at-natanz-664806\">The Jerusalem Post<\/a> reported, Stuxnet \u201csucceeded in destroying more than 1,000 centrifuges, causing significant delays to Iran\u2019s nuclear program. The Stuxnet code caused the engines in Iran\u2019s IR-1 centrifuges to increase and decrease their speed. Iran usually ran its motors at 1,007 cycles per second to prevent damage, while Stuxnet seemed to increase the motor speed to 1,064 cycles per second, causing the engines to explode.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In July 2020, a fire and explosion erupted at the site. Asked about the explosion, Israeli Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/middle-east\/goal-of-natanz-explosion-was-to-send-clear-message-to-iran-642512\">told<\/a> the Jerusalem Post, \u201cWe know what is happening everywhere\u201d in the Islamic Republic, and \u201cWhoever wants to threaten Israel\u2019s existence will have no immunity anywhere\u2026. I say to Iran, don\u2019t put Israel\u2019s determination to the test.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Albright think tank said of the 2020 explosion, \u201cHigh-resolution commercial satellite imagery\u2026 shows that the Iran Centrifuge Assembly Center at the Natanz Enrichment Site has suffered significant, extensive and likely irreparable damage to its main assembly hall section. \u2026 This new facility, inaugurated in 2018, was critical to the mass production of advanced centrifuges, in particular the assembly of rotor assemblies, the rapidly spinning part of the centrifuge and its most crucial component.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
