In a parallel operation, additional strikes were carried out in Karaj, targeting what the IDF described as a key hub for naval cruise missile production and air defense systems.
The strikes underline growing military friction between Israel and Iran, particularly over Tehran’s expanding defense capabilities in naval and missile systems. While Israeli officials framed the operation as a strategic move to neutralize potential threats, there has been no immediate official response from Iranian authorities at the time of reporting.
The development comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with global observers closely monitoring the situation for potential escalation.
