Air Defences Activated in Tehran to Intercept Israeli Projectiles, IRNA Says

  • On June 13 and 14, 2025, Israel launched airstrikes targeting more than 80 sites in Tehran and western Iran, focusing on missile production and nuclear facilities.
  • These strikes followed Iran's multi-wave ballistic missile and drone attacks toward Israel, many targeting civilian areas in the occupied territories.
  • Tehran's air defense systems were activated late Friday night, intercepting Israeli MAV drones as residents protested and observed from rooftops and Enghelab Square.
  • The IDF described its campaign as 'missile hunting' designed to systematically degrade Iran's missile capabilities, with Prime Minister Netanyahu stating the operation will last several days or weeks.
  • The strikes have killed dozens including senior Iranian military leaders and scientists, fueling regional tensions with Iran threatening retaliation, and international calls for de-escalation remain.
