An attempt was made to attack the building of the Atomic Energy Agency in Iran with an explosive-laden drone, but the defense system responded in time and thwarted the attack.
According to Iranian state television, a drone strike on a civilian nuclear power plant building was foiled. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a crowd of 2,000 people, but no one was killed or injured.
No militant group has so far claimed responsibility for the drone strike, but Israel, which has been threatened by Iranian conservatives with serious threats to sabotage its nuclear program, has been blamed.
Israel has not issued a statement regarding the drone strike on the nuclear facility. Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister-elect Naftali Bennett called Iran's nuclear program unacceptable and called on the international community to take action.
Pictures released on social media accounts linked to the Revolutionary Guards show a wrecked drone, but no information has been provided on the structure or ownership of the drone.
