Iran has officially blamed Israel for the January 28 drone attack that targeted a military industrial complex in the central Iranian city of Isfahan.
On February 1, Tehran filed a complaint with the United Nations Security Council about the “terrorist attack” orchestrated by Tel Aviv, saying it reserves its “legitimate and inherent right” to retaliate.
In the complaint letter, Iranian Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani said he wanted to draw the UN’s attention to “further instances of the Israeli regime’s acts of terrorism and sabotage as well as violations of international law against the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
“An attempt was made to launch a terrorist attack against a workshop complex of the Iranian Defence Ministry in the city of Isfahan,” the letter reads. “Early investigations suggest that the Israeli regime was behind this attempted act of aggression.”
The Iranian Ministry of Defense said that the complex was attacked with three “small drones”. One of the drones was downed by the complex’s air defense fire, while the other two were caught in its defensive traps and exploded. The attack caused minor damage to the complex’s roof.
The letter calls on the UN to condemn “Israel’s warmongering statements and acts of terrorism.” It also says Iran reserves “its legitimate and inherent right to defend its national security and respond resolutely to any threats by the Israeli regime, wherever and whenever deemed necessary.”
Some reports said that the complex is a production facility for Shahed-136 suicide drones, which were allegedly supplied to Russia for use in Ukraine operation. However, other reports alleged that the complex was hosting ballistic missiles, possibly also destined for Russia.
An initial report by the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya TV said that the attack was carried out by the United States and “one other country,” as a warning to Iran and Russia.
Nevertheless, another report by the New York Times said that the attack was carried out by Israel to protect its own security interests, and not to prevent the export of Iranian weapons to Russia. According to the newspaper, attack was carried out by the Mossad intelligence agency.
The Iranian letter to the UN is the first official accusation to Israel. Previously, unnamed Iranian officials told the Al Jazeera network that Tel Aviv was behind the failed attack.
The officials warned that Tehran would seek revenge: “Israel knows very well that it will receive a response, as happened in the past.”
Any Iranian response could lead to a military confrontation with Israel, and possibly the U.S. Despite the risk, Tehran will likely strike back in order to maintain deterrence against Tel Aviv. The lack of response could encourage the Israeli and U.S. intelligence to further expand their overt operations within Iran.

“Tehran filed a complaint with the United Nations Security Council“ this is another thing Iran is good at crying to the UN Security Council like that will do a thing Iran needs to grow a pair and launch a direct attack send those ballistic missile over to Tel Aviv and stop bitching.
If you want war, you’re going to have the war.
Please shut Iran won’t do shit. It just barks
TROLL much?
What Iran does via the IRGC is not released to the media. Same same with Iran’s economy. It’s just what it is, and the IRGC’s exploits or revenue earned, trade figures and methods of trade are carefully hidden or deliberately fudged. Typical statecraft.
When and where?
Iran will retaliate when the time is right just when they sent ballistic missiles to the New World Order jarhead base in Iraq, where u.s military personnel received “concussions” so stfu with that BS grow a pair, I can see you being a Trump supporter.
You call that a retaliation do you even know what qussem did for iran he had a hand in establishing training forming most of these resistance groups that are loyal to iran and brought the resistance front multiple victories. Solimani was asked aren’t you worried about being assassinated he said no because if they do it a war will start. That’s what should have happened but all he got was a lack luster retaliation which in the same day of the retaliation iran shot down a civilian passenger plane. This is what people like solimani are worth to iran.
Iran doesn’t retaliate with emotion, everything takes time. They got 80 marines and 9 very high ranking cia agents. If you think just because Iran doesn’t respond the next day they’re weak, you’re mistaken my friend. Sweet part about revenge is no matter how long you wait, you can’t escape it
Open book and read more about what iran did as revenge. You are empty. Afganistan cia director plane crash. Indeed stinger hunt. 82 dead. Commaners dead in iraq and doha 3 general. 186 brain damage in al assad and 8 dead after.. and more more… open and read.
Better then being a Joe Biden supporter!
NO, Iran does that in order to have a RECORD filed , to cover them when they RESPOND , in kind, at some later date.
Countries don’t complain.simply for the sake of complaining.That is childish
Yes, but for what good? West bend and erase everything to fit their agenda. Once major escalation no one will know about the complaints to UN by Iran.
Iran doesn’t want to instigate a war if it can be avoided
These are attacks that are useless. With toy drones, you don’t even scratch armored, armored, or underground structures. You don’t even kill a chicken in the chicken coop. I think that the West, under the guidance of incapable masters, everything goes to ruin. You call them, if you want, emotions.
Iran fears a tactical nuclear attack from the west. It will decapitate the leadership and the IRGC in one strike (concluding from the escalation ladder theory). Recent studies show that none of the underground missile cities or the underground facilities at Fordow, Parchin or Natanz are safe from a bunker buster sub-kiloton type nuke attack. Russia won’t lift a finger no matter how much you jerk off in front of daddy. You understand me, don’t you? China could give a fuck and will probably salivate over the possibility of cheap/ free Iranian oil n gas after its destroyed/ aftermath no? Like I say, I’ve tried to engage you at Press TV, but you are shy and withdraw out of fear. Don’t fear me man? Why are you nervous? Are you fucking muzlim?
What studies, by shlomo from tel aviv? Their cities were literally designed to withstand an attack, no one even know how deep they are expect Iran. Russia and China will defend Iran, strategically if Iran falls, the US will become too powerful for anyone to handle.
You want me to post here? Why don’t you go to the Iranian chilled thread on pdf and see Stryker-19’s post from yesterday.
It’s a thesis written by a Chinese phd student with cfd modeling. Even a sub-kiloton warhead on a penetrator detonating 50 meters above a buried facility would inevitably collapse any bunker upto a km underneath it. It basically means, no bunker is safe on earth! See Stryker1982’s post on pdf from day before yesterday on the Iranian chilled thread.
The East doesn’t make as much noise as the West. Few words and many facts. The Mossad had killed one of Iran’s nuclear engineers. After 10 days, in Tel Aviv the chief operative of the Mossad (a general) was hit by bursts of machine gun fire while he was in his car stopped at a traffic light.
We need to accept that Iran is incompetent in not being able to provide security for its scientists or engineers engaged in weapons development……
It’s easy to assassinate people once you know who they are and how they look like. Iran has cells in israel who can do what the Mossad does, but that’s not how they operate.
No, the sepah needs to segregate our bright minds in a separate city like the Soviets did to prevent sabotage, espionage or infiltration. Even today there is Star city near Moskva for the Cosmonauts. You know right? Same same with all Russians and their families engaged in sensitive work today. You can’t enter those residential/ work complexes unless you live there. Nothing/ No one is allowed in or out without serious inspections.
The new axis of evil lead by China can wreck havoc and achieve their goals if they were to work together and there would be nothing the Psionists and their treasonous Israel-first puppets in the EU, NATO and elsewhere could do about it. Slava Bashar Hafez al-Asad.
China is a US toady. They won’t save you. Why should they? You are muzlim no? China hates Muzlim. You know it right? China considers anyone religious to be a fucking stupid dummy.
That’s true, if you believe western propaganda. Like the destruction of mosques in Xinjiang, ‘proven’ by western ‘intel’ sat pix. More recently, it’s been proven, by people on the ground, that these were pix of mosques being rebuilt, not destroyed. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202008/26/WS5f45c1dca310675eafc558d0.html Do you believe western propaganda that Russia attacked Ukr unprovoked? about Putin and Russian intending to attack all of Europe and rebuild a Russian/USSR Empire? Or that they plan to use nukes?
No, I never talked about Xinjiang. I just know the Chinese look down upon people from the third world. Look at the Chinese failure of Chee-Pek in Pakistan. Nobody talks about the BRI anymore. Its dead in the water.
They desperately need a distraction to keep the eugenicists like boorla protected while israelis are dying from their depopulation ‘medicines’.
Wheren’t these just ment for the goyim?
Since it is more than likely that US assets were used in the attack, Iran is within it’s rights to retaliate against the US. Just as they retaliate against the US bases for Israeli attacks in Syria, they should do the same again. This time they should flatten Al Tanf…or the other bases stealing Syrian oil/crops. The US wants war with Iran, but only on their terms. In reality, they know war with Iran will cost them very dearly and likely erase Israel.
“two were caught in its defensive traps” I was wondering if or when countries would use physical obstacles to help defend against drones. I wonder what they used, strategically placed netting?
Typical fence mesh. Strung up between posts. Cheap, but effective.
İran dont like to say ..hey i do it. Iran Hate it. But did it always. Esrael do a little. But always says i do i do. Ido a big attack. And with West media group became a goat. Bu its only a baloon.ısrael is so weak and little for İran. İran never forgive and always do.
