Satellite images reveal damage to Iranian base in Israeli retaliatory attack

Newly released satellite images provide a visual representation of the damage inflicted on an Iranian military base in Isfahan, reportedly as a result of an Israeli retaliatory strike carried out on Thursday evening.

These images, obtained after the alleged attack, provide a before-and-after comparison, showing the extent of the destruction caused by the military action.

The Israeli strike, described as limited in scope, was carried out in response to a significant Iranian attack on Israel a week earlier. During the previous attack, approximately 300 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), cruise missiles and ballistic missiles were launched towards the Jewish state.

The satellite images, revealed by Iran International, an opposition outlet critical of the Iranian government, show the precision with which the alleged Israeli attack was carried out. The before-and-after snapshots illustrate the targeted nature of the damage inflicted on the base in Isfahan.

Furthermore, the alleged Israeli attack on Iranian air defenses near the Natanz nuclear site, which took place from Thursday to Friday, used an advanced missile capable of evading Iranian radar systems.

According to reports from The New York Times, the choice of this high-tech weapon was a calculated move intended to deter Iran from launching further direct attacks on Israel.

Unnamed Iranian officials quoted by the newspaper announced that the attack targeted a Russian-made S-300 air defense system. Despite the apparent effectiveness of the Israeli operation, Iranian authorities claim they have not detected any intrusions into their airspace by drones, missiles or aircraft.

Western officials, also quoted by The New York Times, suggested that the deployment of such a missile was intended to demonstrate Israel’s ability to evade and neutralize Iran’s defensive measures.
