AMSTERDAM - The Dutch intelligence agency AIVD has conducted an ultrasecret operation in Iran with the purpose of infiltrating and sabotaging the weapons industry in the islamic republic.

The operation, deemed extremely succesfull, has recently been cancelled because of an imminent aerial attack on Iran. Targets include sites that are connected to the Dutch spying.

...

One of the involved agents, that has infiltrated the Iranian industry under supervision of the AIVD, has been called back recently because the US has made the decision to attack Iran with unmanned aircrafts within weeks.
Potential targets include not only nuclear facilities, but also military installations that have been mapped by the AIVD. Information from the AIVD-operation has been shared with the American Intelligence Agency CIA, according to sources.

Is it possible that the article mean unmanned aircrafts?

An unarmed attack seems like an oxymoron to me. Am I missing something here?

You are right Mandingo7!

The dutch/english translation from DailyKos must be erroneous as "onbemand" in the original dutch text translates as "unmanned".
I just corrected this.
