It remains unclear exactly how many sites were targeted, but analysts said the satellite images from Planet Labs suggest that the strikes on Saturday appear to have hit Khojir, a sprawling missile site near Tehran, and Parchin, a massive military base that was part of Iran’s defunct nuclear program.
I have heard that missile production facilities (including fuel mixing sites) were struck. If that were true, I would have expected to see a larger Russian-style explosion from Ukrainian attacks. Maybe it is the lighting, but the fact that it seems like there was no massive explosion debris from secondaries suggest that the fuel mixing sites weren’t in active use.
