Natanz, Iran -- A blast in the area of a nuclear facility in Natanz was reported on Saturday. According to officials, the blast was caused by an air defense test.

The explosion was heard at least 12 miles away from the nuclear plant, the IRNA, Iran's state propaganda news outlet reported.

“Badroud residents heard the noise and saw a light which showed an object had just blown up in the skies over the city,” a witness told IRNA.

Nour News, a website linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guards, claimed the blast was not an attack but was caused by a missile testing Iran's air defenses' preparation for a potential attack, which is only likely to happen if Iran tries to destroy Israel, or the Jewish State gets good intel that Iran is ready to preemptively strike them.

Some of the reports said a drone was shot down but with all the fake news nowadays, you never know.

The blast comes amid high tensions between Iran and world powers. Meanwhile, Tehran continues to enrich Uranium and only an idiot or a demented individual such as Joseph Robinette Biden, would think that it's only for the purpose of heating homes.

The explosion comes only one day after nuclear negotiations were halted in Vienna, with Western countries saying Iran had come to the talks with unrealistic proposals, such as allowing them to eliminate Israel and all the Jews, for example.

Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities in Natanz have seen several reported attacks in recent years which have been attributed to Israel. Hopefully they are correct because it gives one the sense of relief knowing that Israel can accomplish such a feat.

This past April, the underground facility in Natanz suffered an unexplained explosion causing damage to some of its centrifuges. In July, there were fires of unknown cause that struck the advanced centrifuge assembly plant, which was later described as sabotage.
