Citing “senior US military sources,” Fox News reports that the target of last night’s alleged Israeli strike in Iran was a military base in Isfahan near Natanz, not the nuclear facilities themselves.
“The Israelis hit what they intended to strike,” one of the sources tells Fox News, adding that there was one main target that was hit multiple times and that Iran’s Russian-made air defense system was proven ineffective.
The targets of the strike included air defense systems at the military base, which is used to protect the nearby nuclear facilities, Fox reports.
The IDF used missiles and drones in the strike, not manned aircrafts, Fox says.
Israel’s message with the strike was to sell the Iranians on the idea that “we can reach out and touch you,” the source says.
