IDF says it bombed Tehran HQ of Iranian naval weapons and ship producer

The Israeli Air Force bombed the headquarters of Iran’s Marine Industries Organization, which is tasked with the production of naval weapons and vessels, the military says.

The strike in Tehran overnight, carried out following intelligence provided by the Naval Intelligence Division, “deepens the damage to the Iranian terror regime’s naval capabilities, with a particular impact on its ability to produce advanced maritime weapons,” the IDF says in a statement.

The military says the MIO headquarters is responsible for “research, development, and production of a wide range of naval weaponry, including surface and sub-surface vessels, manned and unmanned equipment, as well as engines and weapons.”

The IDF says it also struck other sites used by Iran to develop weapons and air defense systems during the wave of strikes.
