The IDF says its strike on a petrochemical complex in southwest Iran this morning aimed to destroy infrastructure used by Iran to produce raw materials for the manufacture of missiles.
“The targeted infrastructure produced unique materials that serve as critical components for the development of ballistic missiles, which pose a threat to the State of Israel and its citizens,” the military says.
“These are critical components of the production infrastructure supporting the Iranian terror regime’s missile program,” the IDF adds.
