Secret Israeli operation leaves Iran's military tech in shambles

Israeli air-strikes hit key military sites across Iran damaging missile production and defense systems. Satellite images show significant damage to multiple facilities‚ marking first foreign air presence over Tehran in decades

Mid-october strikes by Israel hit Irans defense infrastructure hard - damaging both missile-making sites and air-defense systems (as shown by satellite pictures)

The attack marked a huge shift in regional power-balance: foreign planes flew over Tehran for first time since 80s war with Iraq. This operation exposed how weak Irans allies have become - Hamas and Hezbollah cant help much now after taking big hits themselves

Multiple key-sites got damaged including facilities in Parchin and Khojir; both used for missile production. The Shahrud complex (located 200 miles east of Tehran) also took hits: this site makes solid fuel for rockets and could be used for long-range missiles

  • Parchin facility damage affects special mixer equipment
  • At least 5 buildings got hit in eastern Tehran area
  • Two radar stations near Iraqi border damaged
  • S-300 defense system took significant hits

We suffered a minor damage which we immediately repaired

Aziz Nasirzadeh‚ Iranʼs Defense Minister

But experts say fixing everything will take much longer than Iran admits. Their missile-making got seriously limited - both production equipment and air-defense systems need major repairs. Yoav Gallant‚ Israeli Defense Minister points out that this really changes things: “Their supplies are now set; this affects their calculus“

The strikes hit Iran when its already having trouble: their recent attacks on Israel (both in april and october) mostly failed because of good air defense. Now Tehran faces hard choices - try diplomacy or maybe focus on nuclear program instead
