Unknown people hit Iranian military facilities

Several Iranian military facilities were attacked on the night of January 28-29. Arab media claimed that Israel launched a “special military operation” against Tehran to destroy its defense industry. At the same time, one of the objects was most likely damaged by the earthquake, and there is no evidence of a successful defeat of the others. The Iranian leadership is in no hurry to accuse Tel Aviv. The Israeli leadership also does not comment on what happened.

In a released statement, the Iranian Defense Ministry refers to the unsuccessful attack by drones from an unknown country on a military facility in Isfahan, the capital of the province of the same name in the center of the country and the third largest city in Iran. “On the evening of January 28, 2023, at about 11:30 p.m., an unsuccessful attack was carried out using drones on one of the centers of the Ministry of Defense. One of them was shot down by an air defense system, and the other two fell into defensive traps and exploded, ”the agency said in a statement. According to official data, no one was injured as a result of the attack, and the object suffered minor damage, which did not harm the functioning of the complex and the equipment stored there. In addition, the Iranian state agency IRNA writes that a fire broke out at a motor oil factory in the city of Shahid-Salimi in the province of East Azerbaijan.
