Iran claims to arrest ‘mercenaries’ for Israel behind Isfahan drone attack
|
[IsraelTimes] Tehran says it caught ’main actors of failed attempt
...Curses! Foiled again! ...
to sabotage’ defense site last month.
Iran’s intelligence ministry said on Friday it had arrested the "main actors" involved in a drone attack last month on a defense ministry site in central Isfahan province.
"The main actors of the failed attempt to sabotage one of the industrial centers of the Ministry of Defense in Isfahan were identified and arrested," a joint statement by the intelligence ministry and the intelligence organization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps read.
"Due to the ongoing investigation in the case of the arrested accused, additional information will be published at the appropriate time," the statement added.
"In short, the involvement of mercenaries of the temporary Zionist regime [Israel] in that action has been proven," it added.
Iranian authorities reported an "unsuccessful" drone attack on January 28 that targeted a defense ministry "workshop complex" in Isfahan.
An anti-aircraft system destroyed one drone and two others went kaboom! , the defense ministry said at the time, adding that there were no casualties and only minor damage to the site.
The Iranian intelligence agencies also warned that "the act of violating the sacred sanctity of the Islamic Theocratic Republic will have additional punishment and will be met with a lesson-learning reaction from the guardians of the security of powerful Iran."
Earlier this month, Iran’s envoy to the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
accused Israel of being behind the drone attack.
The Nour News Agency, considered close to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, also accused Iraq-based Kurdish groups of involvement.
Iran
 ...They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has been engaged in a shadow war with Israel for years, with Tehran accusing Israel of being behind a series of sabotage attacks and liquidations targeting its nuclear program, carried out alongside the United States.
Iran’s Intelligence Ministry in July claimed to have broken up a plot to target sensitive sites around Isfahan. A segment aired on Iranian state TV in October included purported confessions by alleged members of Komala, a Kurdish opposition party that is exiled from Iran and now dwells in Iraq, that they planned to target a military aerospace facility in Isfahan after being trained by Israel’s Mossad intelligence service.
It remains unclear whether the military workshop targeted in the drone attack was that aerospace facility. Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the satellite images and other questions about the workshop.
Satellite photos analyzed by The News Agency that Dare Not be Named earlier this month showed damage to the roof of the site.
