On October 26, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted precise airstrikes on Iranian military targets, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict. The IDF claimed to have targeted key facilities involved in Iran's missile production, specifically those manufacturing solid fuel for long-range ballistic missiles. Reports indicated that the strikes also impacted a building linked to Iran's defunct nuclear weapons program, as assessed by experts from the Washington think tank CNA. This wave of attacks was a direct response to Iran's missile assault on Israel on October 1, which involved over 200 missiles. While Israel maintains its position of targeting Iranian capabilities and proxy assets, Iran downplayed the strikes, with its Foreign Ministry accusing Israel of exacerbating regional tensions. This exchange highlights the ongoing volatility and complex dynamics in the region.
