Successful Performance of Mashhad's Air Defense in Countering Hostile Drones

According to Saed News, Amirollah Shamghadri, in an interview with reporters, stated: “Thanks to God, a decisive, swift, and successful response was carried out by the Armed Forces. With the Armed Forces’ strong overall readiness—and particularly in the area of air defense—these attacks were completely thwarted.”

He continued: “The public’s support for the Armed Forces has created favorable conditions amid the current crises. The patience, resilience, unity, cooperation, and support of the people in these times are commendable. I also thank the people for their cooperation regarding fuel rationing and the slowdown of internet services due to drone activity.”

The Deputy for Security and Law Enforcement Affairs of Khorasan Razavi Province added: “Today, the enemy’s media attacks are based on psychological warfare strategies. Through exaggeration, distortion, and generalization, the enemy pursues these operations—something we must be aware of. Fortunately, our people are well-informed. We aim to cause the least possible disruption, especially for children and youth. Overall, public cooperation has been excellent, and we have no concerns in this regard.”

Shamghadri went on to say: “This morning, the Provincial Security Council held a meeting. The council and its specialized committees are operating daily.”

He emphasized: “Everything is under the surveillance of our security forces, intelligence agencies, and the Armed Forces. With the strong public support and military preparedness, we hope to overcome this imposed state of war. We are confident that the best way to get through this crisis is by continuing this spirit of unity, solidarity, and public support.”

The Secretary of the Provincial Security Council stressed: “One of the enemy’s current strategies in psychological warfare is rumor-mongering. We must be aware of this and not believe in rumors. We must be cautious not to fall into the trap of hostile media. Today, a significant part of global conflict is media warfare and the battle of narratives.”

He concluded: “Information will certainly be provided through national media and official provincial and national outlets. Especially in times of crisis and war, we must trust these sources to help us successfully navigate through these circumstances.”
