Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, accused the US and Israel of orchestrating a ‘diabolical plot’, claiming they copied Iran’s Shahed-136 drone design and repurposed it as a modified ‘Lucas’ drone to falsely blame Tehran for drone attacks across the region.

      It’s going to be very interesting to see how Americans react when there’s a false flag attack in our own country

        I seriously anticipate a large false flag on the US this year, probably sometime around September or October

        Putin very likely blew up apartments buildings in Russia to create necessary context for his illiberal policies. So there’s precedent…

        Yep, be on the lookout with buildings with large insurance polices in prime locations that are old.

    Wreckage is the ultimate test.

    If there is doubt about a particular strike, comb the wreckage. The flying product looks the same, but motors and electrical parts are different, the way of laminating fiberglass, the sort of fiberglass, etc.

    Already read speculation Isreal was behind launching some of them to try an draw in more countries and while it’s unproven, to me it sounds like a very Isreali kind of thing to do.

    Iran: We will continue to attack our neighbors if they aid the US to attack us

    Also Iran: We didn’t attack our neighbors.

      I mean this (truthfulness aside) allows them to claim some attacks and reject others while also discrediting Israel (and by extension America). There’s no contradiction here.
