And theOn Thursday, the Iranian Ministry of Defense announced that the “accident” occurred in a research unit affiliated with it, killing an “engineer” and wounding another.
The New York Times, citing a US official, said: This week, drones targeted a “highly sensitive Iranian military site” outside Tehran, then returned to reveal that the target was “the Parchin military complex southeast of Tehran.”
She explained that Iran is using the Parchin complex to develop missile and nuclear technology and drones.
No party has claimed responsibility for the attack, but the newspaper pointed out that it “bears the hallmarks of Israel.”
It is suspected that the Parchin site witnessed tests of conventional explosions that could be applied in the nuclear field, which was previously denied by Tehran.
The incident came a few days after a colonel in the Revolutionary Guards was shot dead in Tehran. Israel informed the United States that it was behind his killing, according to an intelligence official who told the American newspaper.
In recent years, Iran has made significant progress in designing, producing, and transferring drones to militias across the Middle East.
Israel considers its “enemies”, especially Iran, to use drones as a major threat to its security, given that the “drones” have the ability to avoid advanced defense missile systems, such as the Iron Dome.
A senior Israeli military official told The New York Times that his country is investing “significant resources to locate and destroy hostile drones.”
