Iran says air defences activated after Israeli strike on Shiraz

Iranian state media reported on Saturday that Israeli forces had carried out air raids on the southern city of Shiraz, prompting the activation of local air defence systems.

According to the Mehr news agency, “Shiraz’s air defences have been activated in parts of the city and are responding to hostile targets and Zionist aircraft.”

Shiraz is home to several military installations, and the reported strikes come amid escalating tensions between the two regional rivals.
