The Israeli Air Force, as a result of an attack on Iranian military facilities, destroyed the republic's strategic defense potential.
According to the Israeli army radio Galei Tzahal on the social network X (formerly Twitter, banned in Russia), the attack resulted in the destruction of all long-range anti-aircraft missile batteries.
Iran has lost its long-range early warning batteries and radars and is left with only short-range batteries.
The main damage to air defense batteries was recorded in Tehran and western Iran.
Iranian forces used these regions to launch ballistic missiles at Israel.
The IDF reported that Iran will not be able to use surface-to-air missiles for the next 2-3 years.
Purchasing new air defense systems under current conditions will be difficult and will take time.
The Israeli strikes damaged Iran's ability to produce new missiles, but left Iran's existing arsenal unharmed.
The IDF operation destroyed all strategic defense potential and weakened Iran's capabilities.
