Israel Denies Iran's Allegations of Supplying Explosive Components for Ballistic Missiles

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 before use. The Israeli prime minister's office declined to comment on the allegation. The alleged operation by Israeli Mossad agents was described as one of the biggest attempts at sabotage. The parts shown on state TV appeared to be military-style connectors used to attach electronic components of missiles or drones. Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard oversees the country's ballistic missile arsenal.
