PARBATTA NEWS DESK
Iran’s Defense Ministry says it used a new, undetectable missile for the first time in a strike targeting an Israeli intelligence facility, claiming the attack successfully penetrated layered air defense systems supported by the United States, Iranian state news agency IRNA reported.
Brigadier General Reza Talaei-Nik, spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, said on Tuesday, “In today’s attack, we deployed missiles that could not be tracked or intercepted,” according to IRNA.
Referring to the operation as a surprise for the enemy, he warned that more such actions will follow, IRNA reported.
The spokesperson emphasized that the target was struck with precision-guided missiles, despite “heavy defensive layers” surrounding the Israeli facility, as reported by IRNA.
Talaei-Nik suggested the strike exposed vulnerabilities in Israel’s intelligence and security system, which he said has long been considered one of the most sophisticated in the region, IRNA noted.
“Despite years of boasting about their intelligence superiority, an Israeli security and intelligence center has now been directly hit,” he said, according to IRNA.
He further claimed that Israel is not prepared for a prolonged war. “Based on 75 years of experience and various military and non-military factors, the Zionist regime cannot withstand a long conflict,” IRNA quoted him as saying.
Talaei-Nik also said Iranian armed forces had been preemptively equipped with advanced weapons in anticipation of conflict. “Many of our advanced systems have not yet even been deployed,” he added, as per IRNA.
