Iran plays down impact of Israeli airstrikes but remains on high alert

carried out against Iran, raising hopes that a cycle of escalatory state-on-state attacks can be averted – and that previous Iranian threats to retaliate harshly will be shelved.

The drones were reportedly shot down close to Qahjavarestan, near Isfahan airport and the 8th Shekari army airbase. Iran’s media claimed the western press was full of “fantasies” about attacks on several cities, while Tamsin News, which is linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, focussed on the response of Itamar Ben Gvir, the Israeli far-right security minister, who described the strikes as “weak”.

“Israel’s recurring acts of aggression against Iran, especially its provocative attack on Iran’s diplomatic premises in Syria, went unpunished by the UN security council, compelling Iran to take a measured response in self-defense targeting only military facilities and – unlike Israel – intentionally avoiding civilians. Now, in light of today’s reckless fireworks in Isfahan, all countries and leaders should focus on ending Israeli transgressions, particularly its war on Gaza.
