Iran arrests two Mossad operatives from secret drone-making base in Tehran

Iranian authorities on Sunday arrested two Mossad operatives hiding in a building in Fashafuyeh, a district of Ray County in Tehran, where they were involved in manufacturing drones.

According to Iranian state media, “Over 200 kilograms of explosives, equipment for 23 drones, launchers, and other materials were confiscated.”

A video released from the scene showed equipment scattered across the three-storey building where the explosives were allegedly being produced.

This was not the first arrest of its kind. Two other Israeli spies were also detained on Sunday for producing explosives and targeting multiple locations from within Iran.

Earlier, Israel released a video on Friday claiming to show Moss@d operatives operating drones inside Iran and targeting key sites from within the country. The footage surfaced after a series of Israeli strikes hit nuclear and military installations across Iran.

According to IRNA, Israel continues to carry out “punitive strikes” in the occupied Palestinian territories, while Iranian forces have been targeting Israeli settlements in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Haifa in response.
