Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, accused the US and Israel of orchestrating a ‘diabolical plot’, claiming they copied Iran’s Shahed-136 drone design and repurposed it as a modified ‘Lucas’ drone to falsely blame Tehran for drone attacks across the region.

That would involve a lot of thinking and exacuting plans correctly. Career people in the military could pull out off, but this administration wouldn't be able to.

Israel couldn't pull off framing someone for an attack?

The US just uses cruise missiles and claims them to be Iranian anyways. No need for subterfuge when you’ve got a complicit media.
