The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced that it is using “new methods” that force Israeli air defenses to attack each other. The statement came on the third day of tensions between Israel and Iran and is a claim that could change the course of conflict in the region.
“Enemy’s Defense Systems Destroyed” Claim
“The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that they destroyed the enemy’s defenses in a new wave of missile operations using new methods, and the Israeli regime’s defense structures targeted each other,” Mehr news agency reported. This claim could mean that Iran is using its cyber or electronic warfare capabilities to disrupt Israel’s air defenses.
Tensions escalated on the night of June 13 when Israel launched large-scale attacks on Iran. Israel's stated goal of the operation was to destroy Tehran's work on its nuclear program. In response, Iran launched retaliatory attacks on Israeli territory. The attacks continued on Saturday and Sunday, as well as this morning.
This latest statement shows that Iran has changed its attack strategy and is trying to use its technological advantages. Israel has not yet made an official statement regarding these claims. Developments in the region and the parties' mutual moves are being closely followed by the international community.
