According to the ANI reports citing Tehran Times, the Nevatim air base is home to Israel’s F-35 fighter jets, which reportedly conducted bombings in Beirut on September 27 after departing from this military facility. The Iranian news outlet stated that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps used hypersonic Fatah missiles to target the three locations.
Bagheri also said that Iran knowingly did not attack civilian targets and infrastructure. He stated that the ballistic missile attack was carried out by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force.
Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said that Iran’s military actions against Israel were carried out by its legitimate rights and to ensure peace and security for both Iran and the broader region.
