Israeli "gifts" in Iranian missiles?
Iran has accused Israel of trying to undermine its ballistic missile program by using defective foreign parts that can explode, damaging or destroying the weapon before it is used.
Serdar Seyyed Mehdi Farahi, a spokesman for the Iranian Defense Ministry, stressed the seriousness of the situation: "If the sabotage had not been detected and the compromised components had been used, all the missiles would have become inoperable."
A military Information Protection Department official confirmed that Iran's missile industry has always been the focus of foreign intelligence services ' attention due to its strategic importance. In response, Iran has implemented a number of counterintelligence projects to deceive foreign intelligence agencies.
The Israeli Prime Minister's office declined to comment on the accusation, even though it came amid years of efforts by both Israel and the United States to target Iran. The report claims that these parts could be used in the vast arsenal of Iranian drones.
According to Iranian intelligence agencies, the alleged Israeli operation is described as "one of the largest attempts of sabotage." Iran claims that Israeli intelligence agency Mossad agents supplied faulty parts described as inexpensive " connectors."
It was determined that the purpose of the sabotage was not only to disrupt the rocket industry, but also to turn the manufactured missiles into explosive devices that could cause damage to industrial facilities and workers.
Experts note that such connectors are used in almost every type of ballistic missile. "Most likely, Iran buys connectors from abroad," said Fabian Hinz, a missile expert.
Israel has been linked to a number of attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities in the past. The Stuxnet computer virus in the late 2000s attacked the control units of uranium centrifuges, which led to their failure.
