Iran’s Military Bounces Back After Israeli Attacks
Iran has fully replaced air defense systems damaged during unprecedented Israeli strikes in mid-June, state media reported Sunday. The move signals Tehran’s rapid recovery amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. 🌍💥
What Happened?
Israel’s surprise bombing campaign last month targeted Iran’s air defense infrastructure, temporarily weakening its ability to counter attacks. The strikes triggered retaliatory drone and missile launches from Iran, marking one of the most direct confrontations between the two nations in decades.
‘Defense Capabilities Restored’
Army operations chief Mahmoud Mousavi confirmed the damaged systems—critical for protecting cities like Tehran—have been swapped out. "The Zionist enemy sought to destroy Iran's defense capabilities… [but] the systems are now replaced," he told IRNA news. 🛠️
Tech Behind Iran’s Shields
Iran relies on homegrown systems like the Bavar-373 and Khordad-15, designed to intercept missiles and aircraft. It also uses Russia’s S-300 systems, acquired in 2016. Analysts call the rapid replacement a "strategic flex" in the region’s high-stakes arms race. 🔥
