Drone Strike Was Behind Deadly Explosion At Key Iranian Military Research Facility – Report

Click to see full-size image.

A drone strike was behind the May 25 explosion at Iran’s Parchin military complex, The New York Times reported on May 27 citing three Iranians and a US official with knowledge of the attack.

The Parchin military complex, which is located to the southeast of the Iranian capital Tehran, is the home for several industrial and research units where missile, nuclear and drone technology are reportedly being developed.

Iranian officials told The New York Times that quadcopter suicide drones targeted the complex. According to the officials, drones hit a building used for research on drone development, killing an engineer who worked at the ministry and wounding another employee.

A US official confirmed to the daily newspaper that suicide drones had attacked Parchin, but declined to name the side responsible for the attack.

Two days before the attack Quds Force Colonel Hassan Sayad Khodayari was gunned down in the heart of Tehran The Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency, was reportedly behind the assassination.

The attack on the Parchin military complex fits a pattern of past Israeli strikes with suicide drones on Iran and Lebanon.

On February 14, Israel attacked Mahidasht Air Base in Iran’s Kermanshah with six quadcopter suicide drones. The base is reportedly one of Iran’s main manufacturing and storage plant for military drones. That Israeli attack destroyed dozens of drones.

Iran retaliated to the attack on March 13 by launching ballistic missiles at a complex in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region that it said had been used by Israeli intelligence agents to plot attacks against it.

Iran will likely respond to the assassination of Khodayari and the attack on Parchin, despite the threat of further escalation by Israel and the US. Tehran could attempt to strike Israeli targets outside of Israel, as it did in the past.

Iran always makes threats towards Israel and then doesn’t do anything as Israel kills their scientists and drones their bases. Stop being pussies, Iran, and attack Zion-land.

Iran doesn’t attack with emotions, I do agree they need harsher responses by attacking in Israel, and not attack Israeli assets outside of Israel, but it can lead to something huge where a lot of people die. Iran will be sanctioned way worse, and more Iranians will die. If I were Iran I’d launch ballistic missiles inside of Israel to show them not to fuck with them.

No Iran is likely to use drones to destroy an Israeli oil refinery and or a water treatment plant and or an electricity production facility. These things will severely hurt the Israeli economy and military.

Nice one 🤣

You have a point there racist troll, Iranians should learn from Russia and act, as Zionist attacks on both Iran and Syria are escalating as there is no response. The US morons and their Zionist masters are in no position to wage a major war in the Persian Gulf as it will push oil prices to $400-500 a barrel in minutes and cripple western deadbeat economies. Iran should call Zionist bluff and engage them in Syria and try to goad them in a grueling land land war which chews up manpower.

Iran is a fucking wuss and it’s been proven again and again. So they’re natural born cowards. Let them be. The ones weren’t attacked clinging on their pathetic fucking lives doing nothing to prevent such future attacks. Even dogs band together to survive in the wild. Iranians are lower than dogs.

1) I’m not sure the drone base was even hit by Israel, I believe it was fake. 2) Iran attacked Erbil not because the drone incident, but because an Iranian was killed by an Israeli air strike

Mossad is able to have these drones being sent from inside of Iran, that’s the problem. If it was a drone being sent from Israel, it would be shot down, it’s harder to locate drones inside of your territory until it’s too late

Looks to me like Iran needs to up its game as far as air defence and enemy agents are concerned. Someone is sleeping on the job.

No they weren’t sleeping. They were watching everything played out while shaking in fear unable to move.

Iran needs to make some khaZar squatters bleed. Cure the poison in apartheid, occupied Palestine and stop the disease of the evil angloZionaZi empire of shit.
