On the mentioned date, researchers claimed that satellite images showed several buildings at the large military base Parchin near Tehran and the large missile production base Hojil were damaged in the Israeli military strike on Iran. Facilities related to the production of solid fuel for ballistic missiles were targeted with precision.

Researchers say that due to the large size, complex structure, and export control restrictions of industrial mixers used in the production of solid rocket motor propellants, the difficulty in replacing them means that the damage to the facility is likely to hinder Iran's ability to produce advanced ballistic missiles.

Reuters reported earlier this year that the Hodjil base was undergoing extensive expansion. It is said that Israel destroyed equipment used for producing solid fuel for long-range ballistic missiles. Another Israeli source stated that this severely damaged Iran's ability to replenish its missile stockpiles and could potentially prevent Iran from launching further large-scale missile attacks against Israel. Iran has yet to respond to these claims.

Iran announces combat losses: "Only radar systems were damaged."

According to a report by Agence France-Presse on the 10th, the Iranian military said on the 10th that during the Israeli attacks on Tehran and other provinces of Iran on the 9th, the Iranian side "only suffered damage to radar systems." The Iranian military also stated that the Iranian side prioritizes achieving a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon.

The statement read on Iran's national television by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran said: "Due to the timely action of our country's air defense forces, the damage caused by (Israel's) attack was limited, with only a few radar systems damaged." The statement said: "A large number of missiles were intercepted, and enemy aircraft were prevented from entering our airspace." It also stated that Israeli planes were thwarted and could only launch "a small number of long-range missiles with ultra-light warheads" from the airspace of neighboring Iraq, which is patrolled by U.S. forces, at a "long distance."
