Twitter is full of videos of explosions and fire, so "thwart" is probably not quite the correct term to use here.

I just ignore Al Jazeer as a source.

Particularly anything that has to do with Israel and Middle East. They are incapable of honest reporting on such issues.

The footage of a burning munitions factory would seem to disagree

Edit: Al Jazeera, really? You’re just going to use a claim by the Iranian gov as a title, without specifying that it was a statement by them?

Al Jazeera is mostly a good news site, but they’re disgustingly biased about the Middle East.

Al Jazeera is so awfull on middle east I stopped trusting them entirely.

Because if they lack journalistic integrity on some issues, you never know when it will bleed over.

They used to be fairly good, well, questionable on the ME, but lately it's gone down the gutter.

If you cannot trust them on one topic, why would you trust them on others?

You never know when their open bias is going to bleed over.

Is there a news site without weak spots? Politics seems like an impossible arena to report on without biases.

This is not a "weak spot."

This is just blatant and vicious propoganda

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 79%. (I'm a bot)

> Iran's defence ministry has reported several drone attacks on a military plant in the country's central city of Isfahan.

> Reports of the drone attacks in Isfahan also came as Iran's state TV also said a fire had broken out at an oil refinery in an industrial zone near the northwestern city of Tabriz.

> In July last year, Iran said it had arrested a sabotage team made up of Kurdish fighters working for Israel who planned to blow up a "Sensitive" defence industry centre in Isfahan.

I don’t think it was “thwarted”

With the recent satellite evidence im willing to agree this attack was mostly unsuccessful. Sentinel 2 images show the facility's roof is intact likely with only partial damage not visible at lower resolutions. Also, there was a 5.9 earthquake in Khoy, 150km from Tabriz, beforehand. I wouldn't be surprised if that was what damaged the Tabriz oil refinery.
