Iran has accused Israel of being behind a failed plot to sabotage its defense industry and the production of missiles, state media reported on Thursday.
The two foes have been locked in a shadow war for decades, with mutual allegations of sabotage and assassination plots.
“The intelligence unit of the Defense Ministry thwarted one of the largest sabotage plots targeting Iran’s missile, aviation, and airspace military industry,” Iranian state TV said.
“This sabotage was carried out under the guidance of the Zionist intelligence services and their agents.”
Israel has thus far been silent on the matter
There was no immediate response from Israel.
