U.S. disables Iranian missile assembly facility near Tehran

The United States Central Command said it conducted a strike on the Kuh-E Barjamali ballistic missile assembly facility in Iran, releasing before-and-after imagery dated March 1 and March 7, 202.

The facility, located in the Barjamali Hills southeast of Tehran, was identified as a production site for close-, short-, and medium-range ballistic missiles.

The strike appears aimed at degrading manufacturing capacity rather than targeting deployed missile units, reflecting a focus on upstream logistics and production nodes.

According to a statement posted by CENTCOM, “The Iranian regime built close, short, and medium-range ballistic missiles at the Kuh-E Barjamali Ballistic Missile Assembly Facility.” The command added that imagery from March 7 shows the buildings “Out of commission.”

The released satellite images depict a large industrial structure intact on March 1 and heavily damaged or collapsed by March 7, with debris covering much of the site.

The Barjamali Hills area is part of a broader network of Iranian military-industrial locations associated with missile development and assembly. The site lies southeast of Tehran and is geographically linked to known facilities in the Khojir region and near the Parchin military complex, both long associated with Iran’s missile and defense programs.

Ballistic missile assembly facilities such as Kuh-E Barjamali typically handle final integration processes, including the assembly of airframes, propulsion units, and guidance components before systems are transferred to storage or deployment units. Disrupting such facilities can delay production cycles and limit the ability to field new missile systems in the near term.

The imagery released by CENTCOM shows structural collapse consistent with precision strikes targeting key sections of the building, likely intended to maximize damage to internal production lines. The destruction of a central assembly hall can halt operations even if supporting infrastructure remains partially intact.
