Air defense systems were activated across parts of Tehran late Thursday, according to Iranian state-affiliated media, in a development that underscores the fragile and increasingly volatile security situation in the Middle East.
In information reported by Xinhua, Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency informed that anti-aircraft batteries were deployed in several areas of the capital. The outlets said the systems were responding to what were described as "hostile targets," though no further details were immediately provided about the nature of the threat or whether any objects were intercepted.
