Pentagon asserts US not behind strikes on Iran (Reuters)
No US military forces were involved in strikes on Iran, Pentagon Press Secretary Brigadier General Patrick Ryder said in light of the most recent drone attacks on a military plant in Isfahan.
On Sunday, Reuters specified that he declined to comment further. A number of other US officials told the news agency that Washington was uninvolved in the Isfahan incident.
In the pre-dawn hours of January 29, the IRNA news agency reported that a loud blast sounded in the city of Isfahan located in central Iran. Later, the Iranian Defense Ministry said that an unsuccessful drone attack was conducted against one of the military agency’s centers. One drone was shot down while two others were caught by defense traps and exploded. There were no casualties and damage was insignificant. The statement did not specify whom Tehran suspected of the attack, TASS reports.
