Iran Thwarts Israeli Plot to Sabotage Ballistic Missile Program

Iran has accused Israel of attempting to sabotage its ballistic missile program by supplying faulty foreign parts that could explode, damaging or destroying the weapons. The alleged operation, described as "one of the biggest attempts at sabotage," involved Israeli Mossad agents providing low-price "connectors" that are used to attach electronic components in missiles and drones. The report did not specify when the faulty parts were discovered or if they had been installed in any ballistic missiles prior. Israel has declined to comment on the allegation.
