“The country’s integrated air defense system successfully intercepted and countered this aggressive action, though limited damage has been reported in certain areas,” the defense agency said in the statement.
It acknowledged that Israel targeted military facilities in Tehran as well as in the provinces of Khuzestan and Ilam, calling it a “provocative attack.”
The statement described Israel’s move as “adventurous” and defying warnings not to aim for Iranian homeland targets. But there was no mention of a possible response.
“The scope of this incident is currently under investigation,” the defense agency said.
