In the latest Israeli airstrikes on Iran, a key component in Tehran’s missile production process was targeted, according to The New York Times. While specifics were not disclosed, the operation was deemed a top priority.
Initial strikes focused on air defense systems and radar installations in Syria and Iraq to minimize interception risks. Footage near Baghdad hinted at potential Israeli involvement, as similar remnants were found after previous strikes in Iraq.
Israel’s military action spanned 20 locations, including missile production facilities in Tehran and western Iran. Reports suggest damage to Revolutionary Guard missile bases and a crucial air defense battery at an international airport.
Despite warnings and anticipation of retaliation, Israel affirmed its right to defend against any further attacks. The strikes showcased Israel’s operational capabilities and readiness to protect its citizens amid regional tensions.
As the situation unfolds, Israel remains prepared to address threats not only from Iran but also from neighboring conflicts in Lebanon and Gaza.
