Israeli officials have revealed that they successfully smuggled drones and other advanced weaponry into Iran, Associated Press reported.
This revelation comes amidst escalating tensions between the two nations, with Israel citing security concerns and Iran denouncing the move as a violation of its sovereignty.
The operation, reportedly conducted by Israeli intelligence agencies, aimed to preemptively prepare for potential strikes against Iranian targets.
The report quoted sources saying that weapons included drones equipped with surveillance and possibly offensive capabilities, marking a major escalation in the shadow conflict between the two regional powers.
Israeli authorities have not officially commented on the specifics of the operation, maintaining a stance of ambiguity typical in such sensitive matters. Meanwhile, Iranian officials have condemned the smuggling as a blatant act of aggression, vowing to retaliate against any perceived threats to its territory.
