Tensions between the two countries have escalated once again after Israel’s attack on Iran. Israel targeted several Iranian military bases and missile manufacturing centers on October 25. It destroyed several of its bases. It also targeted a secret military base southeast of the Iranian capital. Israeli sources also said that four S-300 air defense batteries, which were at strategic locations, were attacked. On the other hand, the Iranian military said that Israeli fighter jets used “very light weapons” to attack border radar systems in the provinces of Ilam, Khuzestan and around Tehran, which did not cause much damage.
On the other hand, some satellite images have also emerged after the Israeli airstrike. A US researcher said the attack targeted an Iranian building that was part of its nuclear weapons development program. Another researcher said buildings where Iran uses solid fuel for ballistic missiles were also targeted. He told Reuters that Israel had attacked buildings in a large military complex near Tehran.
Satellite images show damaged buildings. These buildings include Iran’s Parchin military base, where the International Atomic Energy Agency suspects Iran has previously tested high explosives that could trigger a nuclear weapon. Other damage was seen at a nearby military base, which analysts believe has an underground tunnel system and hides missile production sites. Several Iranian military officers were also reported to have been killed.
Iran has long insisted that its nuclear program is peaceful, although Israel, Western intelligence agencies and others say that Tehran had an active nuclear weapons program as far back as 2003.
After the attack on Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Israel’s attacks had caused ‘serious damage’ to Iran. At the same time, he said that all of Israel’s goals had been achieved with this attack on Iran. The Israeli military said that all of its fighter jets had returned safely after carrying out the attack on Iran. If Iran retaliates, they are ready for it. However, now Ali Khamenei has refrained from retaliating.
Let us tell you that earlier this month, on October 1, Iran attacked with 18 ballistic missiles simultaneously. This caused a commotion in Tel Aviv. Since then, Israel has vowed to avenge the attack on Iran.
