TEHRAN – Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations has responded to claims surrounding a drone attack on the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, distancing itself from the incident and attributing responsibility to the Lebanese Resistance group, Hezbollah.

Early Saturday morning, reports surfaced from Zionist sources about a drone explosion near Netanyahu’s official residence. Later in the day, Netanyahu’s office confirmed the attack, acknowledging that a drone had indeed hit the premises. Neither Netanyahu nor his wife was home at the time, and no casualties were reported, according to a statement from his spokesperson.

As speculation grew regarding Iran's potential involvement in the incident, a reporter from The Wall Street Journal reached out to Iran’s UN mission for comment. In response, the Iranian delegation firmly denied any role in the drone strike. "We reject the baseless allegations made by the Zionist regime regarding Iran's involvement," the mission said.

The statement went on to clarify that the attack was carried out by Hezbollah, the Lebanese Resistance group with longstanding tensions with Israel. "We have already responded to the regime's previous crimes, and this action was taken by the Lebanese Hezbollah," the Iranian mission emphasized.
