FALCON POWERS – The Iranian Air Defense Command issued a statement early Saturday, detailing the “circumstances” and outcomes of the Israeli attack on Iranian military sites, which led to the activation of air defenses in several cities.
According to the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA), the Iranian Air Defense Command stated, “Despite prior warnings issued by officials of the Islamic Republic to the criminal and illegitimate Zionist regime to refrain from any adventurous actions, this fake regime attacked military sites in the provinces of Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam.”
The Iranian statement continued: “The integrated air defense system successfully intercepted and countered this aggressive act, resulting in limited damage to some sites, while assessments of the extent of the attack are ongoing.”
The Iranian Air Defense Command concluded its statement by urging the Iranian people to “maintain solidarity and peace, follow news related to these events through national media, and not pay attention to rumors from hostile media.”
Informed Iranian sources reported to local media on Saturday that “Tehran, as previously stated, is prepared to respond to Israel’s aggression.”
The Iranian Tasnim News Agency conveyed that “Iran reserves the right to respond to any aggression, and there is no doubt that Israel will receive a proportional response to any action.”
