BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 28. The air defense
system is actively operating in the center of Tehran and other
areas, Trend
reports.
According to the information, Tehran's air defense system
continues to operate to prevent air attacks.
Following the second round of nuclear talks between Washington
and Tehran on February 17, which ended without progress, the U.S.
increased its presence in areas near Iran, deploying over 150
aircraft to bases in Europe and the Middle East.
The escalation follows the 3rd round of nuclear talks between
Iran and the United States in Geneva on February 26. Held under the
administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, the negotiations
were seen as a last opportunity for a diplomatic resolution.
However, no agreements were reached, as Tehran refused to halt
uranium enrichment, dismantle its nuclear facilities, or accept
indefinite restrictions on its nuclear program. Israel launched its
airstrikes shortly afterward, with Katz emphasizing that the
operations were preemptive.
