BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 28. The Israel
Defense Forces (IDF) announced that they have carried out a massive
strike on Iran’s strategic defense system, Trend reports, citing the
press service of the Israeli army.
The statement notes that the Israel Defense Forces, acting on
the basis of intelligence information, launched a large-scale
attack on the strategic defense system of the Iranian regime.
According to reports, one of the strikes targeted a modern SA-65
air defense system in the Kermanshah area in western Iran.
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. On the morning of
February 28, Israel and the U.S. began launching strikes on Iran
from land, sea, and air.
