The Iranian government blamed Israel on Tuesday for a recent act of sabotage at a nuclear facility near Karaj city. 

"We have confirmed the sabotage, and we confirm it again. Of course, this action did not lead to human loss, and the damage on the equipment was insignificant," government spokesman Ali Rabiee said during a press conference.  

"The roof of one of the sheds was punctured ... This sabotage did not lead to damage to essential equipment."  

Iranian media reported on June 23 that a sabotage attempt on a building of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran had been foiled, with no reference to damage.
