Latest Middle East News: Joe Biden hopes Israeli attack on Iran will be ‘the end’; ‘at least 22 killed’ in Israeli strikes on Gaza | World news

Satellite images show overnight Israeli airstrikes on buildings used to mix ballistic missile fuel in Iran, according to Reuters.

Citing separate assessments by two US researchers, the publication said they were told Israel had struck Parchin, a huge military complex near the capital Tehran, and Khojir, a missile production facility.

Decker Eveleth, an associate analyst at the Washington think tank CNA, said the Israeli attacks may have “significantly limited Iran’s ability to mass produce missiles.”

Israel said three waves of planes struck missile factories and other sites near Tehran and in the west of the country.

Mr. Eveleth said the image, taken by commercial satellite firm Planet Labs, showed the Israeli strike destroyed two buildings in Khojira where solid ballistic missile fuel was being mixed.

Images of Parchin taken by Planet Labs show Israel destroyed three solid fuel-ballistic missile mixing buildings and a warehouse, Mr. Eveleth said.

David Albright, a former U.N. weapons inspector, said he had reviewed pictures of Parchin that appeared to show three buildings damaged in the Israeli strike.

The images were not seen by Sky News.
