Drone Attack In Iran: Iran blamed Israel for the drone attack, threatened to retaliate

Iran on Thursday blamed Israel for the drone attack. Let us tell you that on Saturday, Iran's defense base in the central city of Isfahan was targeted. Iran's mission to the United Nations blamed Israel for the attack in a letter published on its website. Along with this, the letter warned that it has a legitimate right to retaliate.

What was said in the letter

"Preliminary investigations suggest that the Israeli regime was responsible for this attack," said the letter signed by Iran's ambassador Amir Said Iravani. However, it has not yet been disclosed in the letter on the basis of which evidence Iran has been suspected. 

Israeli officials denied

On the other hand, Israeli officials have refused to comment on it. Although Israel has previously carried out several attacks targeting Iran's nuclear program and other sites, the nuclear deal with world powers was signed in 2015.

Attack Details

The Isfahan attack, which took place around 11.30 pm on Saturday, is still in bad shape days after the attack. A Defense Ministry statement said three drones were launched at the centre, two of which were successfully shot down. "Somehow a third drone struck the building, causing minor damage to its roof and causing no injuries," the ministry said. 

Drone armed with bombers

Iran's official IRNA news agency later described the drones as being equipped with bombers. These quadcopters are usually operated by remote control from short ranges. Iranian state television later broadcast footage of the wreckage from a drone, similar to a commercially available quadcopter.
