IAF strikes Parchin missile complex + Isfahan IRGC weapons sites — 60 jets, 150+ bombs on Iran's core defense industry

The IDF announced on 26 March 2026 that 60 Israeli Air Force fighter jets dropped more than 150 bombs on Iranian weapon production facilities during the past 24 hours. In Isfahan, the IAF struck multiple weapon manufacturing sites, including one belonging to the IRGC Quds Force and a facility used to manufacture air defense systems. In the Parchin area east of Tehran — described by the IDF as 'the Iranian regime's most central facility for the production of missiles and defense systems' — targets included: a facility for developing air defense systems; a plant for casting and filling warheads with explosives; a site for mixing and casting engines for ballistic missile development; and a facility for producing critical components for solid-fuel ballistic missiles. Parchin had long been of interest to the IAEA for suspected nuclear weapons research activity. The strikes represent a systematic attack on Iran's capacity to manufacture the missiles and air defenses sustaining its war effort.
