Iranian sources told the New York Times that Israel successfully attacked the secret military base in Parchin on the outskirts of Tehran.

Parchin is known for its missile and suicide drone production technologies along with nuclear technologies.

The Iranian sources, including a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, said one drone hit Parchin and two others were shot down.

The sources added that Israel attacked an S-300 air defense battery stationed at Imam Khomeini International Airport, which protects parts of Tehran.

They added that at least three missile bases of the Revolutionary Guards were damaged in the attack.

The attack on the S-300 was confirmed by an Israeli official who told the Wall Street Journal: “The message is that we don’t want an escalation, but if Iran decides to escalate and attack Israel again,” the damage to the S-300s increases Israel’s “range of freedom of movement in the Iranian skies.”
