IDF strikes Iranian Space Agency, air defence production facility

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have destroyed the Iranian Space Agency and an aerial defence system production factory, the Israeli military said in a statement on Telegram.

“The IDF continues to deepen its strikes on the systems and capabilities of the Iranian terror regime.

Yesterday evening (Friday), the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF intelligence, struck dozens of Iranian terror regime infrastructure sites across Tehran.

As part of the strikes, the IDF dismantled the regime’s primary space research centre, which is part of the Iranian regime's forces.

The centre contained strategic laboratories used for research, including developing military satellites for a range of purposes, such as surveillance, intelligence collection, and directing fire toward targets across the Middle East.

The IDF also struck several Iranian terror regime aerial defence systems production sites. As part of the strikes, the IDF struck a key factory used to produce Iranian terror regime air defence systems. The strike significantly degrades the Iranian terror regime's ability to rehabilitate its aerial defence array.

These strikes are part of the ongoing efforts focused on deepening the damage to the Iranian terror regime’s core assets,” the military added.
