The U.S. Air Force conducted a series of strategic airstrikes targeting Iranian military facilities, including a factory producing suicide drones in Tehran.
The attack also hit an unmanned ship storage facility near the Strait of Hormuz, considered a key area for global maritime traffic.
Another target included an industrial facility located in Yazd, which reportedly produces light and heavy torpedoes. This operation is evaluated as a coordinated attack aimed at weakening Iran’s ability to produce and operate unmanned weapons.
Authorities believe the facility hit in the capital may be part of a larger drone assembly network in the country. One of the main centers of this production is Isfahan, where the Shahed family of drones are assembled.
Despite attacks from the United States and Israel, Iran still possesses significant numbers of Shahed-136 drones and continues to use them. According to previous information, Tehran has also been receiving support from Russia to strengthen its capabilities in this military field.
