Iran says radar systems impacted by Israeli attack, but already repaired
Iran is downplaying the impact of Saturday's attack by Israel in a fresh statement from the Communications Center of the General Staff of the Armed Forces.
"As a result of the timely performance of the country's air defense, limited and low-impact damage was inflicted, and some radar systems were affected, some of which have been immediately repaired and others are in the process of being repaired," the statement read.
"In this unlawful and illegitimate act, with the readiness of the country's air defense, a significant number of missiles were tracked and intercepted, and the entry of enemy aircraft into the country's airspace was thwarted."
The statement went on to blame the "terrorist and criminal US government" and warned it "to curb the illegal and illegitimate regime [of Israel], and not to become further entangled in the quagmire that the occupying regime has created."
