Overview
- Israel’s military said its air force struck Iranian military production sites in recent days, citing targets in the cities of Shiraz and Karaj.
- The Shiraz facility, which the IDF linked to Iran’s defense ministry, produced sonar and other underwater detection systems used to track submarines, surface vessels, divers, and underwater missiles.
- The military said a separate strike in Karaj hit a central site tied to building naval cruise missiles and air-defense systems.
- The IDF said the damage significantly reduced Iran’s maritime detection and defense capacity and hindered its ability to produce and maintain submarines and naval electronic systems.
- Officials described the Shiraz plant as Iran’s most central site for sonar and underwater detection production, suggesting a capability that would be hard for Tehran to quickly replace.
