Did Israeli missiles reach very close to a secret nuclear site in the Isfahan province of Iran and cause serious damage to a radar system unit built in its vicinity? Did the Natanz nuclear site in Isfahan escape the damage by whiskers? An analysis of the satellite images posted by Iran International depicts the charred remains of an anti-aircraft mobile radar station, deployed near the Eighth Shekari airbase. It was tasked with protecting the Natanz nuke site in Isfahan.

Airbase attacked

According to 'The New York Post', an array of S-300 mobile anti-aircraft missile launchers were stationed at the air base, it was attacked apparently as part of Israel’s retaliatory strike against Iran.

'The New York Times' has reported that the strike was allegedly carried out with stealth technology that skipped Tehran’s radar detection systems. Israel attacked this site to send a message to the Islamic Republic against any future direct attacks on the Jewish state. Israel's Defense Force used drones and at least one missile, but these were not detected entering Iran’s airspace.

Does Iran threaten of nuclear attack?

Tehran downplayed the attack claiming the explosions were merely small and a result of its air-defense system taking out three drones near the airbase.

Earlier, Ahmad Haghtalab, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander in charge of nuclear security, hinted at using its nuclear program in the escalating conflict against Israel should the Jewish state target Tehran’s nuclear facilities.

Talking to the semi-official Tasnim News Agency, he said, "If the Zionist regime wants to take action against our nuclear centers and facilities, we will surely and categorically reciprocate with advanced missiles against their nuclear sites."

Khamenei praises Armed forces

On the other hand, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei praised the country's armed forces for their "success". In a meeting with Iranian military commanders on Sunday, Khamenei praised the armed forces for their "success in recent events".

In a post on the social media site X, he wrote, "The armed forces' recent achievements have created a sense of splendor and magnificence about Islamic Iran in the eyes of the world."
