The Israeli army announces bombing missile storage and launchers in central Iran

The Israeli army announced, early Saturday morning, that it had launched raids targeting infrastructure for storing and launching missiles in central Iran, as part of its ongoing aggression since June 13.

In a brief statement, the Israeli army explained that the Air Force has now launched a wave of attacks against missile storage and launch infrastructure in central Iran.

According to Iranian Mehr and Fars news agencies reported that Israel launched an attack on a nuclear site in Isfahan, central Iran, on Friday night, confirming that no damage was caused and that there was no risk to the population.

A local official told the two agencies, “During the attack that occurred at dawn today on the Isfahan nuclear site, most of the explosions were related to air defenses,” stressing, “no leakage of hazardous materials was detected”.

The Israeli army also announced, early Saturday morning, that it had detected the launch of new missiles from Iran towards its territory.

The Israeli army said on X, “missiles were launched from Iran towards Israel, and defense systems are working to intercept the threat”.

The statement added, “Alerts were activated in several areas after missiles were detected being launched from Iran toward Israel”.

In this context, Israeli Channel 12 reported that approximately five missiles were launched from Iran in the last salvo.

The Israeli channel reported hearing explosions in central Israel, but there has been no official confirmation yet regarding the locations of the impacts or the potential damage.

In this regard, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said on Saturday that Israeli military strikes had delayed Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear weapon by two or three years, in an interview with German Bild newspaper.

Sa’ar said that the Israeli attack had extremely significant results, adding, “We delayed the possibility of them acquiring a nuclear bomb by at least two or three years”.

“According to the assessments we hear, we have already delayed their ability to acquire a nuclear bomb by at least two or three years,” he added.

“The fact that we eliminated those people who led the nuclear weapons program and pushed it forward is extremely important,” he said.

“We’ve achieved a lot so far, but we will do everything we can… We won’t stop until we do everything we can there to eliminate this threat,” Sa’ar continued.

Iran, which responded to Israel’s unprecedented June 13 attack with sustained missile strikes on Israeli cities, denies seeking nuclear weapons.

Sa’ar noted that the Israeli government hasn’t set regime change in the Islamic Republic as a goal in this war, adding, “At least not yet, we haven’t done that”.
