Watch Iran’s Air Defenses Rip Apart Israeli Drone Swarm in Stunning Footage

According to Saed News, Iran’s Army air defense forces have successfully intercepted and destroyed a formation of Israeli micro air vehicles (MAVs), as evidenced by newly released footage from the recent 12‑day confrontation. The clip, shot from multiple angles, shows missiles streaking skyward before punching holes in the small drones, which burst into clouds of smoke and debris.

The engagement traces back to June 13, when Israel launched what Iranian officials describe as a “blatant and unprovoked aggression,” targeting key military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians. “That day, they crossed every red line,” an unnamed defense official told Saed News. Within days, the United States joined the strikes—bombing Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites in what Tehran calls a “grave violation” of the UN Charter, international law, and the NPT.

In response, Iran’s armed forces conducted a series of precision operations: targeting strategic installations across occupied territories and executing a missile barrage on al‑Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest U.S. military outpost in West Asia. By June 24, Iran asserts, its retaliation had “imposed a halt to the illegal aggression,” compelling both Israel and the United States to stand down.

Military analysts say the MAV shoot‑down video serves a dual purpose: to demonstrate Iran’s layered air defense capabilities and to send a warning that any future incursions will be met with equal—or greater—force. As tensions simmer, Tehran insists its doors to diplomacy remain open, even as it fortifies its skies against further attacks.
