TEHRAN, Iran — Iran condemns a “cowardly” nighttime drone attack that targeted a defense ministry site, at a time of high tensions over its nuclear program and Russia’s war in Ukraine.
An anti-aircraft system destroyed one drone and two others exploded, the ministry said, adding that there were no casualties and only minor damage to the site in the central province of Isfahan.
“This cowardly act was carried out today as part of the efforts made by enemies of the Iranian nation in recent months to make the Islamic Republic insecure,” Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says today at a press conference with his visiting Qatari counterpart, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani.
“Such measures cannot affect the will and intention of our specialists for peaceful nuclear developments,” he adds.
