JERUSALEM
The Israeli military on Wednesday announced it had struck a naval cruise missile production facility operating under Iran’s ministry of defense in Tehran. “In recent days, the Israeli air force acting on IDF intelligence struck two key naval cruise missile production sites in Tehran,” the military said.
According to the military, the facility was used to “develop and manufacture long-range naval cruise missiles, which are capable of rapidly destroying targets at sea and on land.”The strikes “represent another step in deepening the damage done to the regime’s military production infrastructure,” it added.
Meanwhile, The Qatari representative to the United Nations has said that his country will not be a part of regional escalation, Al Jazeera reported.
“To attack a state that is not a party to the conflict, and which has not allowed use of its territory in the hostilities, is a violation of international law, and undermines international peace and security,” Hind Bint Abdul Rahman Al Muftah said in Geneva.
“We have dissociated ourselves from the outset from this war, and we have refused to be part of the escalation. However, Iranians continue to target us and other neighbouring countries.”
