U.S. Internet media Axios, citing three Israeli sources, reported on the 26th that Israel's retaliatory attacks destroyed key elements of Iran's ballistic missile program.
Sources say the destruction of equipment could seriously damage the missile stockpile capacity, making it difficult for Iran to launch further large-scale missile strikes against Israel.
The 12 "fluid mixers" attacked this time are used to produce solid fuel for long-range ballistic missiles and are equipment that must be purchased from China, which is estimated to take at least a year to manufacture again.
A senior U.S. official also confirmed Iran's missile production capabilities in the airstrike, Axios said.
Reuters also reported that former U.N. arms supervisor David Albright and U.S. think tank CNA analyst Decker Eberles diagnosed a facility used to mix Iran's ballistic missile solid fuel as having been hit by Israeli airstrikes.
Based on commercial satellite images, they analyzed that Parchin, a large military base outside Tehran that was suspected of conducting high-explosive tests to make nuclear bombs, and Kozir, a large missile production facility near Tehran, were attacked.
