Iran’s Army destroys another invading drone over Tehran

The Iranian Army’s Air Defense has targeted and eliminated another invading drone over the capital, Tehran.

The Army said in a statement on Saturday that the armed drone was intercepted and shut down before accomplishing its mission.

At least 127 US and Israeli drones have been targeted by the Iranian Air Defense since February 28. Some of them have been forced to retreat from the Iranian skies, and the rest have been destroyed.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, Iran’s armed forces launched the 72nd wave of Operation True Promise 4 against US assets in the region and targets inside the Israeli-occupied territories.

At least six hostile fighter jets have also been intercepted and targeted since the war began, including a US F-35, the most advanced stealth fighter jet in the world.

On February 28, the United States and Israel began attacking Iran. They assassinated Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and a number of high-ranking military officials.

Iran has been retaliating powerfully ever since. Crucial targets across the Israeli-occupied territories and critical assets, notably military bases, of the United States in the region have been pounded.

Iran says the missile and drone barrages against the adversaries are solely meant to defend the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic.
