PNN – An American analyst, in an article stating that Iran has won the war with Israel, has compiled a list of bases that were targeted by Iranian attacks.
Mike Whitney, a Washington-based political analyst, has examined the unspoken reasons that show that Iran defeated Israel in the 12-Day War in an analysis in English.
In this analysis in Global Research, Whitney writes: Why did Israel suddenly agree to a ceasefire with Iran? This is a question that the Western media has not answered and has kept the American people in the dark. You may have heard that Israel’s air defense missile stockpile was running low, leaving it vulnerable to Iranian attacks, but that’s only part of the story. The truth is that Israel was collapsing under a relentless barrage of Iranian missiles and had no choice but to stop the destruction.
He adds: Less than two weeks after the conflict began, Israel threw up its hands and surrendered. Iran, with precision and power, destroyed key Israeli targets one after another and showed no signs of retreating. So Israel had no choice but to accept defeat.
Whitney notes that this story is not being told in the Western media. He makes it clear that Westerners are not talking about the widespread devastation that Iran’s ballistic missiles have caused. This news has been completely omitted from the reports. That is why Israel asked Donald Trump to find a diplomatic way out of this predicament, because the losses were getting heavier day by day and Iran was not giving up.

Zionist analyst: Israel has turned Gaza into a forced labor camp
Raviv Drucker, Channel 13 reporter for Israel: We have to admit that our reporting on the missile attacks on our country seems to have a bit of an Iranian flavor. I don’t mean the Weizmann Institute; many missiles hit our military bases and strategic points, but we haven’t even said a word about them yet. The reason is clear and everyone at home understands why. But this censorship has prevented people from knowing how carefully the Iranians acted and what enormous damage they caused to various places. We only know about the Weizmann Institute, but there are many other places that we are unaware of.
Iran reduced Israel’s military heart, the Kyria complex in Tel Aviv, known as “Israel’s Pentagon,” to a charred ruin. Images released by X-Net show the complex as a pile of ash. The site, despite the protection of multiple layers of Israeli and American defense systems, collapsed in the face of the first wave of Iranian missiles in Operation True Promise 3.
According to a Global Research analyst, the Navatim Air Base in the Negev Desert, known as “impenetrable,” was hit by more than 30 ballistic missiles and suffered heavy damage, although the media did not report it. The base is home to Israeli F-15 and F-35 fighter jets, but it is not yet known how many aircraft were destroyed.
Other bases such as Tel Nof and Ben Gurion near Tel Aviv, Ramat David near Haifa, Palmachim on the Mediterranean coast, and Oda near Eilat were also targeted.
On June 23, rockets hit near a power plant in Ashdod, causing a massive explosion that knocked out local power. Explosions and power outages were also reported in Hadera, near Israel’s largest power plant.
The Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, south of Tel Aviv, known for its military research and collaboration with Israel’s military establishment, was also hit. Key laboratories were destroyed, and members of the institute said years of research had been lost. The institute is also involved in Israel’s secret nuclear program, and many of Dimona’s scientists graduated from or taught there.
Whitney goes on to list the facilities targeted in the Iranian attack. He writes: To summarize: In less than ten days (from June 13 to 23), Iran, with precision and power, destroyed a large part of Israel’s most important military, intelligence, industrial, energy, and research facilities:
- The Kyria complex, known as the “Israeli Pentagon”
- The Weizmann Institute, which is involved in Israel’s secret nuclear program
- Aman Intelligence Headquarters, which oversees elite spy units
- Departments of the Ministry of Interior responsible for military coordination
- Mossad Operations Headquarters
- Navatim and Tel Nof Air Base
- Ben Gurion Airport (several times), Ramat David, Palmachim and Oda
- Army and Mossad command centers in Tel Aviv and Haifa
- Bazan Refinery in Haifa, the Heart of Israel’s Fuel Supply
- Ashdod power plant, which caused an explosion and power outage
- Rafael Complex, a military hardware manufacturer
- Kiryat Gat Industrial Zone, High-Tech Center
- Gav-Yam Nqab Technology Park, active in cyber-warfare and artificial intelligence.
