Iranian media says Israeli drone factory raided inside Iran

Iranian security forces located a three-story Israeli drone factory inside Iran, the semi-official IRGC-linked Tasnim news agency reports.

According to the report, Tehran believes other sites are present in the country, and security forces are operating against them.

In Israel’s initial strikes on Friday, it used explosive-carrying quadcopter drones, rockets, and other sophisticated equipment located inside Iran for precision attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists, military leaders, anti-aircraft batteries, and surface-to-surface missiles.

The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that they were smuggled into the country, and not manufactured there.
