Commercial satellite imagery showed that Israeli airstrikes hit buildings during an attack on Saturday that Iran used for mixing solid fuel for ballistic missiles, according to separate assessments by two American researchers. The judgments were reached by David Albright, a former U.N. weapons inspector who heads the Institute for Science and International Security research group, and Decker Eveleth, an associate research analyst at CNA, a Washington think tank. They told Reuters separately that Israel struck Parchin, a massive military complex near Tehran. Israel also hit Khojir, according to Eveleth, a sprawling missile production site near Tehran. Reuters reported in July that Khojir was undergoing massive expansion. Eveleth said the Israeli strikes may have "significantly hampered Iran's ability to mass produce missiles." The Israeli military said three waves of Israeli jets struck missile factories and other sites near Tehran and in western Iran early on Saturday in retaliation for Tehran's Oct. 1 barrage of more than 200 missiles against Israel.

Eveleth said that an image from Planet Labs, a commercial satellite firm, showed that an Israeli strike destroyed two buildings in Khojir where solid fuel for ballistic missiles was mixed. The buildings were enclosed by high dirt berms, according to the image reviewed by Reuters. Such structures are associated with missile production and are designed to stop a blast in one building from detonating combustible materials in nearby structures.

Disproving hadrspunned's lie from this morning:

"To: SunkenCiv

NO DAMAGE DONE!

Prove me wrong. Show me the video of missile impacts or satellite battle damage photos. A total BUST!

Russian Foreign Ministry on Israeli air strikes on Iran:

▪️Escalation between Israel and Iran poses a real threat to stability and security in the region

▪️Russia calls for restraint and cessation of violence by all parties involved and is ready to work with everyone to reduce the level of confrontation.

▪️It is necessary to stop provoking Iran to retaliate and to break out of the spiral of uncontrolled escalation.

▪️There have been no reports of deaths or injuries among civilians, including Russians living in Iran.

>> Documenting your lie from this morning, above.

No worries. If hardspunned told me the sky was blue, I would go outside and check. Its credibility tank is full of fumes, that’s about all it’s got.

Thanks for the news on the successful Israeli strike on Iran, though! Much appreciated. Looking forward to more! And looking forward to the displaced folks in northern Israel getting closer to going back to their rightful homes.

Blessings!

I wonder if it ever occurs muslim citizens that the reason they’re in the stone age except for purchases from civilized nations (the west), is because they forbid half their populations (females) from learning to read.

Probably not. The centuries of inbreeding, has rendered them intellectually disabled.

It happened.

“@planet 3m imagery taken this morning of Khojir and Parchin missile production facilities show precise strikes on warehouses and mixing buildings associated with the production of solid-fueled ballistic missiles.”

My guess is that’s all the satellites looked for... isn’t the first casualty of war “truth”?
My guess is that the leaked memos were a plant to make Iran move their protective assets to the possible attack sites, only to get the site from which they moved the assets to somewhere else, get hit...

Thanks Uncle Miltie, but he had and has no more credibility than his heroine Kamela Harris' fake McDonald's pic.
