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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
