The Iranian army has already replaced the elements of its air defense systems, which were damaged during Israel’s June attacks. Informed the official Iranian news agency Irna, referring to the statement of Admiral Mahmoud Musávi.
Israel launched his unprecedented attack against Iran on Friday, June 13 in order to prevent his arch -enemy in the acquisition of an atomic bomb. Tehran, who advocates his right to peaceful use of nuclear energy, denies that it would have military ambitions in the field of nuclear weapons. During the 12-day war, the Israeli forces attacked nuclear and military facilities. High -ranking officers and scientists were killed in the Iranian nuclear program.
“The Zionist enemy tried to destroy Iranian defense capacities, and some of our defense systems were damaged during the war,” A admitted deputy commander of the Iranian army for operations Admiral Musáví. He added that damaged systems have already been replaced and deployed at predetermined places. However, he did not specify what systems it was, or exactly when the exchange occurred.
Iranian air defense includes home systems Bavar-373 and Chordad-15 intended to defend against missiles and aircraft. After the conclusion of the nuclear agreement in 2015 with great powers – France, the United Kingdom, Germany, China, Russia and the USA – Iran also installed the S -300 Russian systems in 2016. The war between Iran and Israel ended with a ceasefire that came into force on June 24.
According to the Iranian authorities, more than a thousand people died during this conflict. Israel reported at least 28 victims as a result of Iranian attacks. The United States, which bombed the underground uranium enrichment facilities in Ford, also participated in the conflict on 22 June south of Tehran, as well as nuclear objects in Isfahane and Nanza. The extent of damage to the Iranian nuclear program is not yet clear.
The Israeli attack came at a time when Iran and the United States continued to negotiate a nuclear program that began in April. These interviews have been suspended since the outbreak of the war. However, Germany, France and the United Kingdom are planning to conduct new talks with Tehran in the coming days, a German diplomatic source told AFP on Sunday.
