Air Defense Strikes Reported In Tehran
Iran has reportedly placed additional mines in the Hormuz Strait, a critical chokepoint for global oil transport. Reports indicate air defense fire could be heard in western, central, and southeastern areas of Tehran. It remains unclear if the activity is a military response or a scheduled exercise. The source did not specify the origin of the aircraft or the exact time of the activation. The broadcaster noted that the city's air force and naval capabilities appear absent, suggesting aircraft could fly through the center of Tehran without fear of being shot down. Observers in the city reported no visible abnormal activity or strikes at the time of the report. It is currently unclear if the sounds are related to defensive training or an actual incident. This action comes two months after the start of the war in the Middle East.
