Iran’s Defense Ministry says it used a new, undetectable missile for the first time in a strike targeting an Israeli intelligence facility, noting that the attack successfully penetrated layered air defense systems supported by the United States, APA reports citing IRNA.
Brigadier General Reza Talaei-Nik, spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, said on Tuesday that “In today’s attack, we deployed missiles that could not be tracked or intercepted.”
The spokesperson emphasized that the target was hit with both precision-guided missiles, despite “heavy defensive layers” surrounding the Israeli facility.
Talaei-Nik suggested that the strike demonstrated Israel’s vulnerabilities in what has long been considered one of the region’s most sophisticated intelligence and security apparatuses.
