Satellite images reveal damage from Israeli strike on Iran missile base

Israel's recent airstrike likely damaged a missile base operated by Iran's Revolutionary Guard in Shahroud, according to satellite images. This base is involved in building ballistic missiles and launching rockets for Iran's space program. The attack, which occurred in a previously unacknowledged area, raises questions about Iran's missile production capabilities. Satellite images show significant destruction at the Shahroud Space Center, including a major building and several smaller structures. Iran has not confirmed the attack, but the damage suggests targeted strikes. The U.S. intelligence community has expressed concerns that Iran's space program may be a cover for missile development, potentially shortening the timeline for intercontinental ballistic missile production.
