Iran has begun deploying advanced anti-aircraft systems near nuclear centers amid threats from Israel and the United States to strike them. This is reported by local resources.
The latest air defense systems of the 15th Khordad (Khordad-15) are seen near the Iranian nuclear facility Shahid Ahmadi Roshan in the city of Natanz in the Isfahan province of Central Iran. Thus, Tehran is preparing for a possible strike by the United States and Israel, since both countries have promised to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities, where, in their opinion, uranium enrichment is underway to create a nuclear bomb.
So far, Trump has limited himself to a statement on this topic, he has not yet taken office, but Israel may well strike, since the lack of air defense in Syria allows Israeli aircraft to reach the range of a "direct shot." Right now, the Israeli Air Force is busy attacking former warehouses, arsenals and bases of the Syrian army, but they will always be able to find time for strikes against Iran. Fortunately, all operations to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities have long been developed.
