By Tom Leonard The Iranian nuclear power chief, Ali Akbar Salehi Iran has accused four workers of trying to sabotage its nuclear power programme, tacitly blaming Israel for the plot. The Iranian nuclear power chief, Ali Akbar Salehi, said yesterday that the authorities had monitored the suspects as they worked in one of the country’s nuclear facilities and made the arrests at 'exactly the right time'. Although he did not spell out who he believed was responsible, he blamed 'hostile' nations – usually a reference to either Israel or the U.S. – which were opposed to current diplomatic efforts to resolve the row over Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons ambitions.

As Iran is currently engaged in an all-out charm offensive with @placeholder while Israel has warned the world not to trust the Iranians, experts believe it is obvious where Mr Salehi is pointing the finger of blame.
