Iran claims to have foiled the attack on a facility in Isfahan, a centre of research and development for missile technology, by shooting the drones down. However, an intelligence analyst has said Israel regards the operation to have been a success.
Pentagon spokesperson Brigadier General Patrick Ryder confirmed no US forces had been involved but also declined to comment further.Israeli intelligence analyst Ronen Bergman told Sky News:"The use of quadcopters is a very well-known stamp of Israeli intelligence and a source of concern for the Iranian regime because the short range of the drone means they were launched from inside Iran, highlighting Mossad's capabilities.
Mr Bergman is a pre-eminent authority on Mossad and author of Rise and Kill First, the Secret History of Israel's Targeted Assassinations.Iran claims to have foiled the raid by shooting the drones down but Mr Bergman says Israel regards the operation to have been a success.It has not been confirmed what was attacked, but footage shot by a witness in Isfahan shows a large blast at a military factory in the city.
