Israeli drones targeted the secretive Parchin military base on the outskirts of Tehran during airstrikes on Iran overnight, according to unnamed Iranian officials. The specific target at Parchin has not been confirmed, but it is believed to be a plant related to rocket manufacture. One drone successfully hit the site while others were downed. Israel has long accused Iran of conducting nuclear weapons-related activities at Parchin. Iran had anticipated an Israeli retaliation following its recent attack on Israel, but the IDF claimed the attack had no operational impact.
