The Iranian government has officially confirmed that recent airstrikes attributed to Israel on military installations in Tehran and several provinces have resulted in "limited damage." The strikes, which occurred late last night, targeted facilities believed to be involved in Iran's defense operations.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Defense, officials emphasized that the affected sites were swiftly assessed and that operational capabilities remain intact. "While we acknowledge some damage has occurred, the integrity of our defense systems is secure," the statement read.
The strikes have raised tensions in the region, prompting discussions among Iranian leaders about the need for enhanced security measures and strategic responses. The Iranian military has been placed on high alert, and officials have reiterated their commitment to safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemned the attacks, labeling them a violation of international law and a reckless act of aggression. "Such provocations will not go unanswered," the statement warned, asserting Iran's right to defend itself against external threats.
In response to the strikes, Iran has called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council to address what it describes as escalating Israeli aggression in the region. Iranian leaders are urging for international condemnation and support to prevent further attacks.
