Iran's air defense systems have been put on high alert in various regions as a precautionary measure against potential aerial threats, as reported by the state news agency, IRNA. The activation of air defense systems in certain parts of the country was in response to possible targets, although there have been no reports of large-scale strikes or explosions resulting from any air threats so far.

Extensive checks conducted in Isfahan, a critical central province housing significant nuclear facilities, have confirmed that all sensitive military and security installations remain secure, with no incidents reported.

Additionally, IRNA has stated that there have been no instances of missile defense systems being activated.

Iran's air defense forces have successfully intercepted and shot down three drones, according to Hossein Dalirian, the spokesman for Iran's National Cyberspace Center. However, there have been no reports of a missile attack at this time.
