Some reports said a drone had been used to perpetrate the attempted sabotage. Semi-official Iranian news agency Tasnim also reported the incident, without reference to drones.
Iran's semi-official ISNA news agency said the building was located near Karaj City, some 40 kilometers (25 miles) west the capital of Tehran.
Nournews, a website believed to be close to Iran's Supreme National Security Council, reported Wednesday that the attack was foiled "before causing any damage to the building." It said the case was "under investigation."
When asked for comment, an Iranian official referred to the Nournews report.
The website of state-owned IRAN newspaper published the same report without offering the location or other details. Iranian state TV carried the report on its news ticker.
The report comes after a series of suspected sabotage attacks targeting Iran's nuclear program in recent months.
