Iran says it downed combat drone over Tehran

Iran’s military said it intercepted and downed an armed drone over Tehran before it could carry out operations, according to Tasnim news agency.

Officials said the drone was linked to US and Israeli forces, though there was no independent confirmation.

The military added that it has destroyed 127 drones since the start of the conflict.

The claim came as Israel said it launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran, with residents reporting explosions across the city.
