Iranian media outlets reported an unusual Israeli drone attack in Tehran on Wednesday night, with the semi-official Fars news agency stating that Israeli drones struck security checkpoints at several locations across the capital
Fars, which is affiliated with the regime, said that explosions and clashes were reported at multiple points in Tehran and claimed that about 10 security personnel were killed, including members of Iran’s security forces and the Basij, the militia linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Other sources, however, said the toll among regime operatives was significantly higher, claiming dozens of Basij members were killed within minutes.
“This operation is a joint effort by the Mossad and monarchist elements to infiltrate terrorists and sabotage the country. This operation will fail,” a “knowledgeable source” was quoted as saying in the statement carried by the agency aligned with the Iranian regime.
