Tehran, Iran – June 16, 2025
Iran’s air defense systems were activated overnight in the capital city, Tehran, in response to unidentified aerial threats, according to a report by Tasnim News Agency.
The alert reportedly triggered the deployment of several anti-aircraft batteries across key locations in the city, as tensions continue to escalate in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.
While Iranian military officials have not confirmed the nature or source of the threat, local media suggest that the activation was a precautionary measure in light of recent Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure.
The development follows multiple reports of explosions in other Iranian cities, including Kermanshah and Ilam, and comes amid international calls for de-escalation and restraint on both sides.
There have been no immediate reports of casualties or damage in Tehran as of the time of this report. Authorities are urging residents to remain calm and stay informed through official channels.
