Israel was behind the bombing of an Iranian military facility Sunday, a report released Sunday afternoon claimed, contradicting an earlier report by an Arabic media outlet.
Early Sunday morning, a loud blast was reported at a military site in the city of Isfahan, Iran, state media outlet IRIB reported.
Iran downplayed the incident, calling it an “unsuccessful” drone attack.
"The explosion took place in one of the munitions manufacturing centers of the Defense Ministry and according to an announcement by the political and security deputy head of Isfahan Governorate, there were no casualties," IRIB reported.
"One of (the drones) was hit by the ... air defense and the other two were caught in defense traps and blew up. Fortunately, this unsuccessful attack did not cause any loss of life and caused minor damage to the workshop's roof," the ministry said in a statement carried by the IRNA news outlet.
"(The attack) has not affected our installations and mission...and such blind measures will not have an impact on the continuation of the country's progress," the ministry stated.
A report by the Saudi news site Al Arabiya al Hadath claimed the drone attack was carried out by the US Air Force and the participation of another country, but emphasized that the Jewish state was not involved.
On Sunday afternoon, however, The Wall Street Journal cited US officials and other unnamed sources who said that Israel was in fact responsible.....

wut air defense doing???
But they can't figure out who blew up the Nordstream Pipeline.
Right.
Too bad Israel didn’t bomb Iran back to the Stone Age!
That Bibi is such a rascal.
Shocking!
Who could have guessed that...
The US would be bombing drone factories in Russia if they thought they wouldn’t get nuked for it.
At least Israel had the guts to do it.
Any word on the Dobbs leak?
Israel was liable to be blamed regardless, so WTF.
The Wall Street Journal cited US officials and other unnamed sources who said that Israel was in fact responsible.
Oooh, unnamed sources, very compelling.
If the attacks were indeed unsuccessful (that's the claim of Tehran Tom, the Iranian version of Baghdad Bob), it's likely that patriotic Iranian rebels carried out the attacks.
“attack was carried out by the US Air Force and the participation of another country, but emphasized that the Jewish state was not involved.”
Wonder who the second country was?
Oh, I think they know who blew up that pipeline they just don’t want to say. Which means they know russia didn’t do it.
Reminder: I never mark Sarcasm or Ridicule.
It is reported that when Regan was told that Israel bombed the Iraqi nuke factory, he said “What?! After being told a second time he replied, “Well, boys will be boys.”
quoting anonymous sources based on unconfirmed reports...
Look for Iran to seek to fill a vacuum if/when Russia declines in power.
“Too bad Israel didn’t bomb Iran back to the Stone Age!”
That would set them back maybe a week to ten days.

U.S. officials need to shut the hell up!
You have to sober why they tattled.
Strange behavior got an ally.
