TEHRAN – Iranian air defense systems were activated following the detection of hostile micro-drones over Qeshm Island in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. This alarming incident, confirmed by the Deputy Governor-General of Hormozgan Province, Mohammad Ashouri Taziani, to the Tasnim news agency on Monday, underscores the persistent threats to Iran’s sovereignty and regional stability.
Ashouri Taziani explicitly identified the intruding drones as belonging to the United States and the Israeli militaries, highlighting a clear act of provocation. He reassured the public and the international community that Iran’s formidable armed forces remain in a state of full readiness. “The situation is completely under control, and the conditions on Qeshm Island are completely stable,” he asserted, emphasizing the nation’s unwavering vigilance and capability to defend its borders against any aggression.
This development comes amidst heightened regional tensions. In a related event, US President Donald Trump reportedly claimed to have postponed a planned attack on Iran, attributing the decision to a request from Qatar. Such statements, while seemingly de-escalatory, follow a pattern of aggressive posturing by the United States against the Islamic Republic.
