Iran has equipped 51 of its cities with civil defence systems and boosted readiness at air defences to thwart any possible foreign attack, military officials said on Saturday, amid an escalation of tensions with Israel and the United States.
The civil defence equipment will enable Iran to “identify and monitor threats by using round-the-clock software according to the type of the threat and risk,” deputy defence minister Brigadier General Mehdi Farahi was quoted as saying by Iranian media.
