Tehran: Iran has declared a major military achievement, claiming it has successfully breached Israel’s defense systems during recent confrontations. The announcement came through a statement attributed to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who described the operation as a “decisive victory” for the Islamic Republic.
Khamenei praised Iran’s armed forces for their technological and strategic capabilities, stating that the ability to penetrate one of the world’s most advanced air defense systems was a clear message to adversaries.
“Breaking through Israel’s defense is not just a military success — it’s a political statement. We are capable of defending ourselves and asserting our presence,” he reportedly said.
The details of the breach were not disclosed, but Iranian officials hinted at a coordinated missile and drone operation that tested Israel’s Iron Dome and other defensive systems. Israeli authorities have not issued an official response, though regional analysts are closely monitoring developments.
This escalation follows weeks of rising tensions between Iran and Israel, with both sides exchanging threats and engaging in cross-border skirmishes. Iran’s recent move is being seen as an attempt to reassert regional influence and respond to perceived provocations.
International observers warn that such claims, if true, could significantly alter the strategic balance in the Middle East and increase the risk of a broader conflict.
