Wall Street: 100 Israeli Aircraft Destroyed Iranian S-300 Systems

The Wall Street Journal revealed new details about the scale of Israeli attacks on Iran, based on statements from American and Israeli officials.

More than 100 Israeli aircraft participated in the military operation targeting 23 facilities inside Iranian territory, resulting in the destruction of all Russian-made S-300 air defense systems.

American officials reported that the strikes hit sites associated with ballistic missile production, delivering a severe blow to Iran's military capabilities that could take years to restore.

Israeli forces, at the request of U.S. President Joe Biden, avoided targeting Iranian nuclear facilities and oil infrastructure, focusing instead on military sites.

Tehran downplayed the extent of damage, asserting that Israeli missiles targeting radars in Ilam, Khuzestan, and Tehran provinces caused "limited damage with minimal impact."

Multiple international media outlets, including Axios, Reuters, and The New York Times, confirmed the precision of Israeli strikes targeting Iranian missile facilities and radars.

Iran's silence regarding attack details and how they were countered points to the extent of damage to its military systems, particularly the S-300 systems supplied by Russia in 2016.
