Sounds of anti-aircraft defense systems echoed across Tehran on Thursday night, sparking immediate concern and speculation among residents and media outlets. While official explanations are pending, the activation has fueled discussions about potential security threats or drills in the Iranian capital.
Iranian news agencies, including Tasnim and Fars, reported the sounds, noting that the exact cause was not immediately clear.
