Israel strikes Iran’s only submarine development centre

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) struck an underwater research centre in Iran, the IDF press service announced.

The facility is Iran’s sole enterprise responsible for designing and developing submarines and support systems for its navy. It also produces various models of unmanned aerial vehicles.

“The strike significantly limits the regime’s ability to manufacture new and advanced submarines for the Iranian Navy, as well as upgrade its existing fleet. The IDF will continue to advance its strikes on the regime’s military industries in order to degrade production capabilities built over several years,” the army’s statement read.
