Iran's air defense 'successfully intercepts, counters' Israeli aggression

Iran’s air defense force has confirmed Israeli attacks targeting positions in Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam provinces, saying the aggression was successfully thwarted.

“Despite the previous warnings of the officials of the Islamic Republic to the criminal and illegal Zionist regime to avoid any adventurous action, this fake regime attacked parts of military centers in the provinces of Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam this morning in a tension-causing action,” the air defense force said in a statement on Saturday morning.

The country's integrated air defense system successfully intercepted and countered the act of aggression, it said.

The attacks caused limited damage in some locations and the dimensions of the incident are under investigation, the statement added.
