The footage showed that the complex had only suffered minor damages on its roof while showing that work inside the structure was proceeding normally.

The scenes also showed some parts of the used drones' wreckage after they were shot down by the Iranian air defenses.

The Defense Ministry issued a statement saying one of three Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) attacking the defense equipment manufacturing complex in Isfahan was downed by a defense system stationed inside the facility.

Commenting on the incident, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said, "What happened in Isfahan comes within the framework of an attempt by Iran's enemies to destabilize security," and stressed that "the defense forces thwarted this attempt."

In light of the recent failed drone attack, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that "Israel carried out a drone strike targeting a defense compound in Iran," and that the US and "Israel" were both looking for "new ways" to "contain Tehran’s nuclear and military ambitions."

The report states that this marks the first attack carried out under the new far-right coalition government led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who just recently conducted one of the most violent raids against Palestinians in Jenin.
