In a bold move intensifying its regional stance, Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian facilities linked to missile production, hitting the Parchin and Khojir bases on Saturday, new satellite images reveal. The targets included ballistic missile infrastructure and buildings where solid missile fuel is believed to be mixed—key components of Iran’s military capabilities suspected of nuclear ties. Under pressure from the U.S. and allies, Israel refrained from hitting Iran’s nuclear or oil assets, focusing instead on strategic missile development sites.
The airstrikes underscore Israel’s enduring commitment to countering Iranian influence, particularly in missile technology that could reach Israeli soil. The attack comes as Israel faces escalated hostilities with Hamas and Hezbollah, backed by Iran, which raises questions over future Middle East stability. Regional experts view the strike as both a warning to Tehran and a demonstration of Israel’s willingness to act decisively against perceived threats in its sphere, despite international appeals for restraint.
