The country’s defense ministry says a drone attack was thwarted.
Iran was attacked using drones, the country’s Defense Ministry announced on Sunday. One device was shut down by an air defense system, while the other two “fell into defensive traps and exploded.”
“This unsuccessful attack did not cause any loss of life and caused minor damage to the workshop’s roof,” the ministry said in a statement cited by a state media outlet, IRNA.
“(The attack) has not affected our installations and mission… and such blind measures will not have an impact on the continuation of the country’s progress,” it added, without providing details on whom Tehran considers responsible for the attack.
The deputy governor of the Isfahan province reported, prior to the military’s statement, that the explosion occurred “in one of the centers” of the defense ministry. Local authorities noted that no one was hurt.
Earlier, Iranian social media reported loud blasts across the country.
The news comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel over Tehran’s nuclear program. Iran denies Israeli allegations that it is planning to develop nuclear weapons. While multiple Middle Eastern media outlets reported that Israel had launched a military operation against Iran, the Israeli government and military have yet to make an official statement.
On January 28, there was also an explosion in the north-west of Iran, at an oil production plant in the city of Azarshahr in the province of East Azerbaijan.
I have neither sympathie for israel nor iran.
israel always has ” good” reasons to attack anybody. Even foreign civilians can be murdered by the mossad.
And if you criticise such behaviour, you are called an ” anti-semitic”, which is a legal ” crime ” and can land you into legal troubles. The only country in the world refering to the shoa all the time to justify its own crimes, while many countries also have known mass murder and genocide.
Aggressivity of israel and coercion of the usa have worked many years. And both countries are tied through the ultra zionists and their plans for the world domination.
Arrives a time though when things change. For example money is difficult to come by and weapons cannot be financed any more.
What will happen when you have been aggressing your neighbours all the time ?
As for the above mentionned bombing, it has everything to do with the iranian support to russia. That is what i think. Might be wrong though.
