Satellite Photos Reveal Damage to Iran Military Sites After Israeli Strike

Did you know that a recent Israeli attack on Iran might have caused some damage? Satellite images from Planet Labs show that key facilities for making ballistic missiles and air defense systems in Tehran and Parchin could have been hit. Experts aren't sure exactly how many sites were targeted, but they think Israel might have aimed to weaken Iran's missile production capabilities. The attack came as a response to Iran's rocket launch in October, which sent over 200 missiles flying. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strike was successful.

Meanwhile, Iran's leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the attack shouldn't be overhyped or ignored. Instead of targeting missile storage sites, Israel might have hit the places where missile fuel is made. This makes it tougher for Iran to replenish its missile supply. Experts think this was a smart move because missiles are scattered all over Iran and are hard to reach. But if you stop the production, you can't make new missiles.
