Jun 22, 2025, 09:02 GMT+1

Two Iranian F-5 fighter jets and eight ballistic missile launchers, including six prepared for immediate attacks, were destroyed in overnight Israeli airstrikes across central Iran, the Israeli military said Sunday.

The operation, involving 20 fighter jets, struck dozens of targets across central Iran, the IDF added.

The strikes hit an explosives production facility, weapons storage and manufacturing sites, and Iranian air defense systems, according to the Israeli military.

Military infrastructure at Isfahan Airport was also targeted to prevent further use by the Iranian Air Force, the military said.

In a letter to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, Atomic Energy Organization chief Mohammad Eslami protested the attacks on Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, and said the US, as a permanent UN Security Council member, must uphold the UN Charter.
