Air defense systems were activated over Tehran in recent hours, with state-linked outlets describing engagement against unspecified “targets.” Footage circulating online suggests the response relied largely on ground-based anti-aircraft fire, with no clear evidence of aerial interceptions.

At the same time, Israel’s Channel 13 News reports that a military source denies any Israeli operations in Iranian airspace, raising questions about what triggered the response.

The activity comes as pro-regime rallies continue across parts of the capital, leading some observers to suggest the display may be intended as a show of force rather than a response to a confirmed threat.

Separately, residents reported a power outage in the Azadi district of Tehran, though it remains unclear whether the incident is connected to the air defense activity.

More details are expected as the situation develops.
