Israel army says struck underground missile facility in western Iran
Israel army says struck underground missile facility in western Iran

Jerusalem (AFP) June 14, 2025

The Israeli military said it struck an underground facility Saturday in western Iran's Khorramabad that contained surface-to-surface and cruise missiles.

"This is an important site that was even featured in a propaganda video by the Iranian regime in the past," military spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin told journalists.

He was likely referring to footage aired by Iran's Revolutionary Guards earlier this year showing what it described as a new underground missile facility.

"It was struck and the senior officials associated with it have also been eliminated," Defrin said, adding that "dozens of other such sites have also been destroyed".

The military said the site contained "storage tunnels for surface-to-surface missiles and cruise missiles as well as multiple launch shafts".

Iranian media reported strikes on Lorestan province, where Khorramabad is located, on Saturday.

Earlier on Saturday Israel said its air strikes on Iran, which began in the early hours of Friday, have so far killed more than 20 Iranian army and Revolutionary Guards commanders, including armed forces chief Mohammad Bagheri.

The strikes have also killed nine nuclear scientists and experts, the military said.

Iran said at least 78 people have been killed.

Berlin is not considering delivering long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine for its fight against Russia, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said in Kyiv on Thursday. Pistorius told a journalist that, if "asked whether we are considering this, my answer is no". The question of sending Taurus, with a range of over 500 kilometres (270 miles), has been highly controversial because it would allow Ukraine to target sites deep inside Russia. burs-fz/sea/jj ... read more
