The spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has accused the United States and Israel of deploying a rebranded copy of Iran’s Shahed-136 drone, designated “Lucas,” to carry out attacks on civilian infrastructure in regional countries as part of a deliberate false-flag operation aimed at framing the Islamic Republic.
In an official statement released today, the spokesman explained that after suffering military setbacks on the battlefield and failing to build political coalitions against Iran, the enemy has resorted to deception.
The statement specifically warned that the objective of these operations is to “create doubt and accuse the Islamic Republic of Iran” while sowing discord between Tehran and its neighbors, thereby undermining the legitimacy of Iran’s defensive actions.
The spokesman pointed to a series of “suspicious attacks” in recent days on facilities in friendly neighboring countries, including Turkey, Kuwait, and Iraq, which Western media outlets and hostile parties have falsely attributed to Iranian forces
He stressed that Iran’s military operations remain strictly disciplined, governed by clear legal principles, and limited exclusively to military targets belonging to the United States and the Zionist regime.
“As the Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly announced, it only targets the objectives, centers, and interests of the United States and the Zionist regime, and assumes full responsibility for any location it targets by issuing an official statement,” the spokesman declared.
The statement reiterated that Iran’s defensive doctrine is grounded in lawful principles and strong logic, and called for regional trust and cooperation to counter these tactics.
“It is essential that we trust one another and, by maintaining unity and cooperation, deter the aggressor enemy from these tricks and vicious behaviors,” it read. “The intelligent reactions of the authorities of the regional countries to these deceitful and vicious movements will thwart this conspiracy from the outset.”
The region has witnessed multiple drone attacks on economic infrastructure, residential areas, and diplomatic premises throughout the war on Iran, which Western media have repeatedly attempted to blame on Iran.
Tehran has consistently denied responsibility for strikes on civilian targets.
Supporting evidence includes the March 3 statement by the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence confirming that a Shahed-type drone that struck the Royal Air Force Akrotiri base in Cyprus did not originate from Iran.
Similarly, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has previously accused Israel of launching drone attacks in Azerbaijan that were wrongly attributed to Tehran, describing such incidents as deliberate attempts to damage Iran’s relations with its neighbors.
Iran’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Alireza Enayati, has also categorically denied any Iranian involvement in an alleged attack on the US embassy in Riyadh.
The latest such attack, which came on Saturday, targeted the Lanaz refinery in Iraqi Kurdistan region.
Iranian media reported military sources as saying the attack had nothing to do with Iran and the axis of resistance
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ (IRGC) Intelligence Unit says Iran will consider the Israeli regime’s shelters “legitimate targets” if residential areas in the country come under attack.
In a post published on social media platform X on Tuesday, the IRGC said that any strikes on residential areas in Iran would give Iran’s armed forces the right to attack Israeli shelters in the occupied lands.
The IRGC stated that it has intelligence on the blueprints and the exact locations of these shelters.
Iran began its Operation True Promise 4 after the US and Israel launched their joint military aggression against the Islamic Republic in late February by assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, and several senior Iranian officials.

In a fresh wave of retaliatory strikes, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) targeted the Israeli regime’s “secure” intelligence facilities in Tel Aviv.
The IRGC’s Public Relations Department said in a statement on Tuesday that it had carried out the 79th wave of its ongoing retaliatory Operation True Promise 4 against the Israeli and American targets.
Deploying powerful Kheybar Shekan, Emad, and Sejjil missiles alongside IRGC Aerospace Force kamikaze drones, the operation successfully breached the regime's multi-layered air defense systems, the statement said.
The missiles, it stated, targeted Israel’s intelligence facilities in northern and central Tel Aviv, as well as military commercial and support centers in Ramat Gan and the Negev.
The missiles also hit Israel’s southern military logistics and command headquarters in Beersheba.
The missile strikes triggered widespread panic across Israel and forced the suspension of a Knesset (parliament) session on Tuesday.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announces staging the 78th wave of its underway retaliatory Operation True Promise 4, targeting such highly sensitive Israeli targets as Dimona, Tel Aviv, and Eilat as well as several US military bases in the region.
In a statement on Tuesday, the IRGC described the latest phase of the operation as a significant development featuring missiles raining down on enemy targets as the nation was leveling momentous support behind the Islamic Republic by attending millions-strong rallies with "clenched fists."
'A distinct record'
The latest phase, it noted, "has set a distinct record in the timeline of the war."
According to the statement, targets in the occupied port of Eilat, Dimona, a heavily fortified city that hosts the Israeli regime's notorious nuclear reactor in its vicinity, and northern Tel Aviv were struck using Emad and multi-warhead Qadr missile systems along with attack drones.
This was the second time the Corps was hitting Dimona, ...
