DUBAI, United Arab Emirates—A problem with the electrical distribution grid at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility caused an incident at the site on April 11, Iranian Press TV reported, a day after Tehran launched new advanced uranium enrichment centrifuges at the site.

The Natanz facility, which is located in the desert in the central province of Isfahan, is the centerpiece of Iran’s uranium enrichment program and monitored by inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog.
