Israeli sources revealed that Tel Aviv's attack on October 26 successfully destroyed 12 "planetary mixers" - key equipment used to produce solid propellant for Iran's long-range missiles.

This is considered the "heart" of the country's missile arsenal. Sources stressed that the destroyed equipment was "high-tech machinery" that Iran cannot produce itself and must import from abroad.

It is estimated that Tehran will need at least a year to restore production capacity. However, Iran still holds a significant missile stockpile.

A senior US official also confirmed the information, saying that the attack had paralyzed Iran's missile production capabilities.

In addition, Israeli sources also said the airstrike targeted four air defense sites protecting Tehran and some of Iran's nuclear and energy infrastructure.

On the Iranian side, the Fars news agency reported that Israel attacked several military bases in the western and southwestern regions of the capital Tehran. However, the Tasnim news agency affirmed that the military centers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in this area were not damaged.

The attack took place on the night of October 26, confirmed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as retaliation for Tehran's attacks on Israel on October 1.

According to CBS News, Israel's targets were limited to military facilities and did not target Iran's nuclear or oil facilities. IRNA news agency also confirmed that no Iranian oil facilities were damaged.
