The targets struck were sophisticated equipment that Iran could not produce on its own. Backbone of Iran's missile industry' destroyed by IAF strikes on Islamic Republic.
The Israeli Air Force (IAF) launched a large-scale strike against critical missile infrastructure in Iran, hitting sites essential to Tehran’s long-range ballistic missile program. These sites included sophisticated equipment for producing solid fuel, which Iran reportedly sourced from China due to its inability to manufacture it domestically. Israeli sources described these components as the "backbone" of Iran’s missile industry, with their destruction expected to significantly impair Tehran’s capacity to replenish its missile stock.

Alongside the missile production facilities, the IAF also struck four Russian-made S-300 air defense batteries positioned to protect vital nuclear and energy sites around Tehran. Additional targets included a drone production plant and a facility within the Parchin military complex, previously linked to nuclear weapons research.

Reports suggest that Israel aimed to damage Iran's defense infrastructure strategically, potentially setting back its missile production efforts by up to two years. The attack involved over 100 Israeli aircraft, with sources indicating that these missions sought to weaken Iran’s air defense network, enabling future Israeli operations. This strike represents a significant escalation, focusing on reducing Iran’s military capabilities amid ongoing regional tensions.
