These Israeli airstrikes, concentrated around Tehran and other provinces, resulted in at least four Iranian military personnel casualties and inflicted some damage on radar installations. Iran has publicly downplayed the strikes, emphasizing its defense capabilities and restraint while condemning Israel's actions as provocative but minor【6†source】【7†source】.
