Unveiling of Arman and Azarakhsh Air Defense Systems

Iran unveiled two new air defense systems Saturday, state media reported, with tensions high in the Middle East amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. "The Arman anti-ballistic missile system and the Azarakhsh low-altitude air defense system, built by the ministry of defense, were unveiled this morning," the official IRNA news agency said.

The unveiling of the new weapons comes at a time of heightened regional tensions, with the war between Israel and Tehran-backed Hamas raging into a fifth month.
