According to Israeli sources, rocket fuel production equipment was damaged or destroyed as a result of the strike. Israel's attack on Iran destroyed a critical facility in its ballistic missile program. This information is reported by Axios, citing sources in Israel.
“The destruction of the equipment caused serious damage to Iran and could prevent massive missile attacks on Israel,” the publication reports.
According to Israeli sources, the strike damaged “planetary mixers” used to produce solid fuel for Iran's ballistic missiles. This is complex equipment that Iran cannot produce on its own and is forced to purchase from China. It will take Iran at least a year to restore this equipment.
An American official confirmed that the Israeli strike undermined Iran's missile capabilities. Insiders say this will force Tehran to limit arms supplies to its allies such as Hezbollah and the Houthis.
The attack damaged four S-300 air defense batteries, as well as some Iranian nuclear and energy facilities.
Iran said the radar systems suffered minor damage and would be repaired. There is no mention of damage to missile or drone factories.
The Israeli Air Force struck a drone factory and a facility in Parchin used to develop nuclear weapons.
Let us remind you that on the night of October 26, powerful explosions occurred in Tehran. The IDF announced attacks on military targets in Iran.
