The Israeli air force has once again attacked dozens of targets in Iran, according to its own statements. More than 60 fighter jets attacked military facilities for the production of missiles and the headquarters of a research facility of the Iranian "nuclear weapons project" during the night, the army announced in the morning.

Several industrial facilities for missile production were hit in the area of the capital Tehran, it said. The area had served as a central industrial center for the Iranian Ministry of Defense. In addition, a plant for the production of an important component for the Iranian nuclear weapons program was targeted. At the same time, a total of four drones fired by Iran were intercepted during the night. The information could not initially be independently verified.

The declared war aim of the nuclear power Israel is to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and to take action against its missile arsenal. The Iranian leadership, on the other hand, has denied for years that it is seeking to build nuclear weapons - and insists on the right to use nuclear power for peaceful purposes.
