Israel security source says struck Iran due to 'faster and faster' missile development

An Israeli security source said that strikes on arch-foe Iran were launched on Saturday due to a "sharp acceleration" in the Islamic republic's production of missiles.

"They are developing dozens of ballistic missiles each month, and their pace of production is getting faster and faster," the source said.

"This is a regime that is moving forward towards producing thousands of missiles in the coming years. A dramatic expansion of an already dangerous arsenal," the source added.
