Israeli strikes will prevent Iran from supplying Russia and its satellites with ballistic missiles. A journalist from the Israeli publication Haaretz wrote about this on the social network X Anshel Pfeffer.
“An important consequence of Israeli strikes on Iran is that Iran will not be able to supply ballistic missiles to Russia for many months until it restores its production capacity,” Pfeffer said.
After the Israeli strike on October 26, 2024, according to BildIran has lost the ability to supply ballistic missiles to Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. The damage to production is especially significant for Tehran: Israel disabled 12 installations involved in the production of rocket fuel, critical for Iranian weapons.
Implications for Iran and its missile program
Israel effectively neutralized air defense systems, leaving Iran vulnerable. Mark Dubowitz from an American think tank Foundation for Defense of Democracies stressed that the attacks “paralyzed Iran’s defenses,” disabling important Russian S-300 air defense systems. At the same time, Israeli aircraft avoided losses, which demonstrates the power of air defense.
Quote: “The attack paralyzed Iranian air defenses and left critical facilities unprotected,” writes Bildciting sources.
Alarm in Tehran
According to sources New York Timesthe attacks caused “deep alarm” in Tehran. The country's important energy and economic centers were left defenseless. Israel struck not only Iran's air defenses, but also drone and missile factories, which could have implications for supplies to Russia.
| Impact of attacks | Details |
|---|---|
| Destroyed air defense systems | The S-300 air defense systems that protected the facilities were neutralized |
| Neutralized factories | For the production of drones and missiles |
| Rocket fuel losses | 12 fuel installations are out of order |
Containing missile supplies to Russia and terrorists
Pfeffer from Haaretz notes that Iran will now not be able to supply missiles to Russia until it restores production, which could take up to a year.
Quote: “Iran has lost the ability to supply Russia with ballistic missiles for months to come,” reports Bild.
Implications for regional stability
Israel's strikes on Iran have altered the balance of power, limiting Iran's ability to support its allies. This event could weaken the position of Iran and its partners, helping to weaken their influence in the Middle East and Russia.
This summary highlights the strategic and military aspects that were raised in the original article from Bildfocusing on changes in power balance and reactions in the international arena.
