The most important component of the Iranian nuclear program is the facility at Natanz. That is the site of the most advanced centrifuges used to separate U235 from the more common U238. This produces the raw material from which a nuclear bomb can be built. Well, there's good news from Natanz. Satellite images of the facility show that about 3/4 of it was destroyed in a recent explosion and fire. This includes operating centrifuges as well as the plant where the centrifuges were built.
We still don't know the source of the explosion and fire. An Iranian anti-government group claimed responsibility, but it also could be a cyber attack or even an air strike. It could be the USA. It could be Israel. It could be Saudi Arabia. Let's put it this way: there is no shortage of countries that would be thrilled to see the destruction of the Iranian nuclear program. The key point though is not who did this, but rather that it happened.
In the last two weeks, Iran has gotten hit with explosions across the country. Clearly, the regime is under attack. This is really good news.
