Israel says Iran's military industry will be destroyed 'within days'

The Israeli military has said that Iran’s weapons production capabilities will be largely destroyed "within a few days."

Over the coming days, the military aims to "complete their attacks on all key components of the [Iranian] military industry," army spokesman Effie Defrin told journalists on Saturday evening.

"This means that we will have destroyed most military production capabilities," he added.

"It will take the regime a long time to rebuild them."

Since Israel and the US began to attack Iran four weeks ago, the Israeli Air Force has been carrying out heavy strikes on Iran's military industry.

The Israeli military estimates that it has already struck around 90% of the key facilities in the Iranian arms industry, according to the Times of Israel.

Israeli fighter jets also bombed military production facilities in Iran overnight, including the headquarters of the Marine Industries Organization which is responsible for the development and construction of warships and submarines.
