Satellite images obtained by CNN show significant damage to Iran’s Tabriz missile base and the Mashhad airfield.
Before-and-after imagery released by satellite company Maxar of the Tabriz missile complex in northwest Iran on June 17 shows entire storage buildings razed to the ground, and large craters on the roads within the facility. Several vehicle tunnels were also struck and heavily damaged at the site, according to the pictures.

At the Mashhad airport, in the northeast of the country, an Iranian tanker aircraft was hit and completely destroyed, the images reveal. Only the tail of the plane is visible among charred debris in the imagery, also from June 17, after the strike.

Israel launched a wave of attacks involving more than 50 aircraft on Iranian centrifuge and missile production sites overnight, according to the Israeli military early Wednesday.
Iran’s semi-official Mehr News Agency also claimed overnight that Iran launched Fattah hypersonic missiles toward Israel. CNN cannot independently verify the claims.
