Israeli Air Force bombed facility where critical components for missiles were developed, IDF says

During a wave of airstrikes overnight, the Israeli Air Force bombed dozens of Iranian weapon production sites, including a facility where “critical components” for missiles were developed, the military says.

The IDF says the site in the Tehran area, belonging to Iran’s defense ministry, is “one of only two of its kind in Iran, where the regime developed critical components for assembling and operationalizing ballistic missiles intended for launch toward the State of Israel.”

The military says other targets hit as part of the wave of strikes in Tehran included a facility where Iran manufactured engines for ballistic missiles; a weapon production and storage site; a facility where engines for drones were manufactured; and a “central site” of the Iranian military used for the development of air defense systems and the manufacturing and storage of anti-aircraft missiles.
