Quick Glance: Israeli Strike Damages Iranian Air Defense System Without Detection, Officials Say
- An Israeli airstrike on Iran on Friday damaged an air defense system, according to Western and Iranian officials, and appeared calculated to deliver a message that Israel could bypass Iran’s defensive systems undetected and paralyze them.
- The strike damaged a defensive battery near Natanz, a city in central Iran that is critical to the country’s nuclear weapons program, according to the officials.
- The relatively limited scope of Israel’s strike and the muted response from Iranian officials, however, seem to have eased tensions.
- It was confirmed that Israel had deployed aerial drones and at least one missile fired from a warplane, as stated by three Western and two Iranian officials.
