Iran denies reports it launched drones at Israel - IRGC’s Fars news

Al Hadath, citing a source close to Hezbollah, reported that the group does not plan to initiate an attack on Israel following the strikes on Iran.

Al Arabiya said Hezbollah issued a statement condemning the attack and offering condolences, without indicating any further steps.

At least 78 people were killed and 329 injured in Israeli strikes on military and residential areas of Tehran province, according to unofficial figures reported by Iranian media on Friday.

The report has not been confirmed by Iranian authorities.

Iran’s Ministry of Communications said Friday that temporary internet restrictions have been implemented across the country due to the current “special circumstances” and on the orders of relevant authorities. The ministry added that the limitations will be lifted once the situation returns to normal.

Israel said it had completed a series of strikes on Iranian military infrastructure, targeting dozens of missile launchers, drone storage sites, and other facilities across the country.

The Israeli military said the operation destroyed long-range missile systems and a unique container-based launch mechanism in western Iran. It added that the continued presence of such weapons in Iran posed a threat to regional and global security.

Thousands of people gathered in Tehran on Friday to protest against Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets.

Demonstrators condemned the attacks and expressed solidarity with Iran’s leadership amid heightened tensions in the region.
