Iran has accused Israel at the United Nations (UN) of a drone attack on a munitions factory in the city of Isfahan, near a site belonging to the Iranian Space Research Center, which has been sanctioned by the US for its work on Iran's ballistic missile program. missiles, the news agency ISNA announced today.

The attack came amid tensions between Iran and the West over Tehran's growing nuclear activities, the supply of weapons to Russia, including long-range Shahed 136 drones, and months of anti-government demonstrations that followed the death of Iranian-Kurdish Mahsa Amini.

In a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Iran's UN envoy, Amir Saeed Iravani, said "primary investigations suggested that Israel was responsible" for the attack, which Tehran previously said did not cause casualties or cause serious damage. .

"Iran retains its legitimate and inherent right to defend its national security and respond firmly to any threat from the Zionist regime (Israel) wherever and whenever it deems necessary," Iravani's letter to Guterres said.

Iran has in the past accused Israel of planning attacks using secret agents on Iranian soil.

Tehran announced in July that it had arrested a sabotage team of Kurdish militants working for Israel who planned to blow up a "sensitive" defense industry center in Isfahan.

Talks between Iran and world powers to revive the 2015 nuclear deal have been stalled since September 2023.
