Overnight, drones attacked an Iranian defence factory in the capital city of Isfahan, according to early Sunday reports from the state-run IRNA news agency.
It released a statement from the Defense Ministry stating that the attack took place late on Saturday and just slightly damaged a rooftop. According to the report, Iranian air defences shot down three drones.
The ministry did not say who was suspected of carrying out the attack.
Separately, official television in Iran reported that an oil refinery in an industrial area close to the city of Tabriz in the northwest caught fire. It stated that the reason was currently unknown and displayed video of firefighters putting out the fire.
Israel and Iran have been at war in secret for a long time, with hidden Israeli attacks against Iranian nuclear and military targets.
An engineer was reportedly killed and another employee was injured at the Parchin military and weapons development base east of Tehran last year, according to Iran. The ministry referred to it as an accident without giving any other information.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has stated that it believes Iran tested explosive triggers that might be used in nuclear weapons at a military base in Parchin.
Iran accused Israel of attacking its underground Natanz nuclear plant in April 2021 and damaging its centrifuges.
Israeli media widely reported that the nation had planned a deadly cyberattack that resulted in a blackout at the nuclear facility, while Israel has not admitted responsibility for the attack. Israeli authorities hardly ever recognise actions carried out by their Mossad intelligence service or covert military formations.
Iran accused Israel in 2020 of being behind a cunning strike that claimed the life of its top nuclear expert.
Iran has consistently stated that its nuclear programme is only intended for peaceful uses. According to Western countries, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and U.S. intelligence agencies, Iran had a formal nuclear weapons programme up until 2003.
