Tehran 06 July_The Israeli foreign minister says the regime considers Iran’s nuclear abilities as an “existential threat” to itself, noting that Tel Aviv is taking any action to stop what he called “Iranian nuclear threat.”

Israeli foreign minister: Israel taking any action to stop ‘Iranian nuclear threat’Gabi Ashkenazi made the remarks on Sunday, a few days after a shed at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility was damaged in an incident, whose cause has not been officially declared yet.

Natanz is a uranium enrichment center located near a city of the same name in central Isfahan Province, some 250 kilometers (155 miles) south of the capital, Tehran.

The center is among the sites now being monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) under a 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) between Tehran and major powers.

On Thursday morning, one of the sheds under construction in the open area of ​​the site suffered damage following an incident, which caused no casualties and did not affect the activities at the complex, according to the spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) at the time.

Israeli top diplomat, whose remarks were quoted by Jerusalem Post, further said, “We have a long-term policy over the course of many administrations not to allow Iran to have nuclear abilities.”
