Iranian officials and state media have consistently denied reports of missile strikes or foreign attacks on Isfahan, instead reporting the interception and destruction of three drones. According to various sources, including state TV and the Iranian Space Agency, the air defense systems in Isfahan were activated and successfully shot down a number of small drones, specifically mini quadcopters, with no resulting damage on the ground. These reports emphasize that there was no airstrike, suggesting an attempt to downplay the severity of the incident, indicating no need for retaliation.
