Tehran: Iran’s Border Guards have announced the interception and destruction of 44 Israeli drones and quadcopters in border areas over the past 48 hours. Brigadier General Ahmad Ali Goudarzi, the Border Guards commander, highlighted the vigilance and preparedness of Iran’s border units, which successfully prevented these aerial devices from breaching Iranian airspace.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Brigadier General Goudarzi commended the zealous effort of the border guards, asserting that they remain on high alert. He issued a stern warning to all hostile entities, including terrorist groups, armed factions, and smugglers, emphasizing that any threat to Iran’s border security would be met with decisive force. The commander also stressed the ongoing monitoring of all frontiers in Iran and the readiness to counter any threat.

The Israeli regime’s activities have intensified, with strikes inside Iranian territory commencing overnight on Friday. This escalation saw attacks on residential buildings in and around the capital, resulting in the targeted assassination of top Iranian military officials. In retaliation, Iran launched punitive strikes deep into Israel, targeting cities such as Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa.
