Iran shot down several drones in Israel’s attack

Iranian officials admitted this morning that they have shot down several drones in the sky over the cities of Isfahan and Tabriz, which could mean a new Israeli attack against the country, following the airstrike against the Iranian embassy in Syria on the 1st.

The incident that day ended the lives of several generals of the Revolutionary Guard, including one of its most important commanders, Reza Zahedi, leading to an Iranian response against Israel last Sunday, when it shot down more than 300 drones. And attacked that country with missiles. ,

The current spate of mutual attacks could plunge the entire Middle East into a war that would “endanger the fate of the entire region,” the think tank Chatman House warned in an analysis a few days ago.

According to the regime-controlled Mehr Agency, like the rest of Iranian media,

Isfahan’s anti-aircraft defense shot down 3 drones approaching the city at around 4 am. At dawn, the media outlet released other information stating that the city was “completely calm and safe. People are continuing their normal lives.” To further strengthen his words, the journalist showed photographs of traffic jams in the above mentioned city.

Official Iranian propaganda has tried to downplay the significance of the military action by denying the presence of missiles in the attack, as reported by several North American media. The same media acknowledged that Iran has ordered the closure of several airports throughout the country and that its armed forces are on high alert.

The Isfahan facility believed to have been targeted in the attack is an Iranian air force base – not the Revolutionary Guard, Israel’s main rival – where a squadron of older F-14 planes is stationed.

American sources confirmed Israeli responsibility in these incidents to media outlets such as CNN. Washington had asked Tel Aviv not to attack Iran again so as not to encourage violence in the Middle East.

The Iranian regime had warned that the attack on its embassy in Syria had changed the rules of confrontation between the two countries and that it would now respond directly to any Israeli attack, which was evidenced by the airstrike conducted last Sunday.

“In the event of any illegal use of force by the Israeli regime, Iran will not hesitate to assert its right to give a decisive and appropriate response to make it regret its actions. This is an irreversible decision,” he said on Thursday. ” Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, in his appearance at the United Nations.

Iran accused the Western community of bias for failing to condemn the attack on its diplomatic delegation on the 1st and said it was this situation that led it to respond with a wave of drones and missiles last weekend. Western countries spoke out strongly against the Iranian response, and the United States and England imposed new sanctions on the Persian nation.

“The attack by my country’s armed forces was limited and minimal, targeted only military targets and was in line with international law with the principle of non-aggression on civilian areas and ensuring proportionality,” Amir-Abdullahian said.

Tehran warned that its potential new targets include the Dimona nuclear power plant. A senior Revolutionary Guard official, General Ramadan Sharif, denied on Thursday that their missiles and drones had attacked the facilities, citing information published in an Israeli newspaper indicating that the complex had been hit by previous Iranian attacks. The tremor was attacked on at least one occasion during Sunday.

According to Iranian broadcaster Press TV, he declared, “This is a big lie and an evil attempt that is part of the enemy’s psychological operation to deceive public opinion.”

However, another Iranian soldier, General Ahmed Haqtalab, warned that if Israel attacked its nuclear facilities, Iran would respond by trying to reach Dimona. He said, “If the Zionist regime decides to take action against our nuclear facilities, it will have to face our response. It will be an eye for an eye.”
