Inside Iran: How Israel secretly built drone bases to launch its biggest strike
Published June 13th, 2025 - 11:05 GMT
ALBAWABA - High-level Israeli security officials said that even before the most recent round of assaults, Israeli spy agency Mossad had set up a secret drone operations station within Iranian territory. The site was crucial to Israel's larger plan to destroy important Iranian military facilities, and it was allegedly utilized to fire kamikaze drones during the attack.
Mossad operatives surreptitiously invaded Iran and placed precision-guided missiles close to surface-to-air missile systems, according to Israeli media. Together with Israeli attacks, these weapons were triggered, seriously impairing Iranian air defenses and destroying important assets, such as a missile station at the Esfajard military facility close to Tehran.
According to a senior Israeli official, the well-planned operation was one of Israel's most advanced incursions into Iranian territory, and it was successful in weakening Iran's ability to retaliate.

Jordan's military has acknowledged that it has intercepted many Iranian drones and missiles that were traveling to Israel via its airspace. As the rockets were destroyed by Jordanian fighter planes and air defense systems, sirens rang across Amman. In light of concerns that debris may fall on inhabited regions, authorities emphasized that the interception was required to safeguard civilian areas.
A top Jordanian military officer was described by state media as reaffirming the military's commitment to protecting national sovereignty and being ready to resist any threats by air, sea, or land at all times.
Israel was also reportedly monitoring Iranian drones over Jordanian and Syrian airspace. Israel has not issued an official statement, but according to many media sources, as part of its defensive stance, its air force was actively interacting with hostile UAVs.
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, responded to Israel's military escalation by issuing a severe warning. He said in a statement that the Zionist state had planned a deadly deed for which it would "undoubtedly pay the price" and that Israel would get "severe punishment." Although he acknowledged that the Israeli bombings had killed a number of Iranian scientists and military officials, he gave the assurance that successors had already taken over.
