OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — The Israeli military said Monday it had struck and dismantled Iranian defence systems deployed across several areas in the country.
"Recently, defence systems were deployed in numerous areas across Iran as part of the regime's efforts to restore its detection and defence capabilities, which were degraded during Operation Roaring Lion," the military said.
"The strike led to the dismantling of these systems," it said, adding that dozens of warplanes participated in the operation.
Local media in Iran said Monday that a "hostile drone" was shot down over the capital Tehran during the new round of fighting with Israel.
"A hostile drone belonging to the American-Zionist enemy was targeted and destroyed by air defences in the skies over Tehran," the Mehr news agency reported, without elaborating.
Iran said Monday that Pakistan's mediation efforts to end the war with the United States were continuing even after fighting resumed with Israel.
"Diplomatic consultations are naturally continuing in all circumstances," said Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei.
