Iranian official says military shot down 3 Israeli drones
Iranian air defenses have shot down three drones, allegedly launched by Israel, according to Iran’s space agency.
“They said that we fired 500 suicide drones and missiles… now they respond with three of these quadcopter, all of which were shut down,” Iran’s space agency spokesman Hossein Dalirian writes on X.
“They just say that they didn’t inform America before,” he adds with emoji smiles, in an apparent jab at recent tensions in relations between Israel and the United States amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
