In January, Iran accused Israel of a drone attack on a military factory near the central city of Isfahan. Iran's UN envoy, Amir Saeid Iravani called the facility, where according to reports Iran produced advanced weapons, an "industrial complex" belonging to the Defense Ministry in the city.
The most recent attack comes days after Israeli air strikes in Syria hit Iran-linked targets that killed at least two Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) members that served as military advisers in Syria.
