Israel Smuggled Drones and Weapons Into Iran, Established Secret Base Inside Country Ahead of Strikes: Report

IRAN, JUN 17 – Mossad’s multi-year operation smuggled hundreds of explosive drones into Iran to disable missile launchers and air defenses, enabling over 100 Israeli airstrikes, officials said.

  • On June 13, 2025, Israel initiated Operation Rising Lion, a major offensive striking Iranian nuclear, missile, and military installations, utilizing drones deployed from a covert base near Tehran.
  • The Israeli military preceded the air raids with covert Mossad missions that established a drone base and deployed precision-guided weapons to neutralize Iran's air defenses and missile capabilities.
  • The strikes reportedly destroyed dozens of radar and missile launchers and killed top Iranian military officials including General Mohammad Bagheri and Hossein Salami, while causing explosions at uranium enrichment sites.
  • Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker expressed strong support for Israel’s independent preemptive action targeting Iran’s nuclear capabilities, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that the strike hit the core of Iran’s nuclear enrichment efforts.
  • The attack risks regional escalation, with U.S. officials denying involvement, urging restraint, and warning Iran not to target American interests amid evacuations and calls for renewed diplomacy.
