Scary Escalation: Israel Launches Drone Strike DIRECTLY On Enemy Soil

Escalating tensions between the two countries prompted the strike.

According to Iranian officials, their air defenses were able to strike down another drone. Still, two others got past the defenses and were able to do minor damage to the munitions factory. The factory is in the city of Isfahan and is located next to a site belonging to the Iran Space Research Center. The State Department sanctioned the site due to its contributions to Iran’s ballistic missile program.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian was quick to respond forcefully, saying, “Such actions cannot impact the determination and intent of our experts for peaceful nuclear progress.”
