The Israel Defense Forces and Mossad claim to have launched their devastating strike on Iran from a secret base constructed within the Islamic Republic’s own borders.
Iran was devastated by a surprise attack, dubbed “Rising Lion,” in the early hours of June 13, as Israeli weapons targeted nuclear facilities, military command centers, and missile sites.
The attack was partially launched from a secret drone base constructed near Tehran by the Mossad, according to Israeli officials. These were activated at the beginning of the assault to take out ballistic missile launchers, ensuring Iran would be unable to respond.
