[IsraelTimes] State TV says supposed spy ’planned to explode the workshop complex of the Ministry of Defense’ in January 2023 strike blamed on Israel; details of execution not released

Iran’s judiciary has executed a "terrorist" over a drone attack that targeted a defense ministry site in central Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
last year, state media reported on Sunday.

According to state TV,
... and if you can't believe state TV who can you believe?
the person "planned to explode the workshop complex of the Ministry of Defense in Isfahan under guidance of the intelligence officer of Mossad," Israel’s spy agency.
Oooooh, Mossad… Be afraid, O Iranians — be very afraid.
The date of the execution and the identity of the accused person were not immediately clear.

The site hit in the January 2023 strike was reportedly a weapons production facility for Iran’s kamikaze Shahed-136 drones.

Isfahan is also a known hub for Tehran’s missile industry and is where the Shahab medium-range missile — which has a range capable of hitting Israel — is assembled.

Iran also has several known nuclear research sites in the Isfahan region, including a uranium conversion plant. The country’s sanction-hit nuclear program has been the target of sabotage, liquidations of scientists and cyber-attacks.

Tehran has accused Israel of carrying out several covert actions on its soil.
No! Surely not covert action!!
Iran’s intelligence ministry said in February 2023 that it had arrested the "main actors" involved in the drone attack on the defense ministry site in Isfahan.

The previous month, an anti-aircraft system destroyed a drone, and two others went kaboom! during an attack on a defense ministry facility in the province, officials said at the time.

According to the defense ministry, the nighttime attack left no casualties and only caused minor damage.

Authorities did not elaborate on activities at the site, but IRNA said the strike had targeted "an ammunition manufacturing plant."
