Videos shared on social media showed fire and smoke billowing from the base.
In a statement, the exiled Iranian opposition group Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK) claimed the attack was carried out by “revolutionary cells," a term it often uses to characterize anti-regime acts and protests in Iran.
