Jason M. Brodsky, senior Middle East analyst and editor at
Iran
International, told
The Algemeiner that HESA was a part of Iran’s “proliferation pipeline,” with variants of the aircraft company’s drones having “found their way into the hands of Iran’s proxies and partners in the Middle East” including, by some accounts, the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Brodsky noted that there have been conflicting reports as to whether HESA is in fact located within the Sepahan Nargostar Chemical Industries complex. But, he said, “if HESA was actually targeted, the timing is noteworthy as it comes after the IDF’s downing of the armed drone last week, which it said was launched by Iran from either Iraq or Syria. The point of origin of the drone is very important to ascertain.”

Iran on Friday displayed a home-built combat drone that it said had a range of 2,000 km (1,250 miles), naming it “Gaza” in honor of the Palestinians’ fight against Israel, state media reported.
Iran has a large missile and drone program, regarding such weapons as an important deterrent and retaliatory force against the United States and other adversaries in the event of war.
The West sees Iran’s missiles both as a conventional military threat to regional stability and a possible delivery mechanism for nuclear weapons should Tehran develop them. Iran denies trying to build nuclear arms.
