Probably the most significant attack came early Thursday morning at Natanz, when, as the New York Times reported:

...

A Middle Eastern intelligence official…said the blast was caused by an explosive device planted inside the facility. The explosion, he said, destroyed much of the aboveground parts of the facility where new centrifuges…are balanced before they are put into operation….

...

...

Instead, Iran appears to be facing a more dismal prospect. On Monday, Israel’s Channel 12 News said the “attack on the Natanz nuclear facility in Iran, credited to Israel, had managed to set back Tehran’s uranium enrichment program by two years, citing Western intelligence estimates.”

Channel 12 also said Israel’s Mossad had “recently foiled planned or attempted Iranian attacks on Israeli diplomatic missions in Europe and elsewhere,” and that “frustration is growing fast in Iran.”

-Here’s a better look at the complete damage:-

They will be pushing for Biden for more pallets of money. Don’t think they will do too well asking the current administration.

Keep an eye out in case they order pallets of mail-in ballots.

I read that The Great One had sanctioned explosive devices being put on USSR oil pipelines throughout those years and it made life difficult for folks there.

What I read, was it was not explosive devices, it was design flaws in the pipeline. He allowed them to steal plans for the pipeline, knowing if they used them, it would blow. It did.

Kudos to the sabateur, that takes a lot of nerve.

If captured, his “interrogation” would not be very pleasant.
