00:00 In this context of the Israeli attacks on the Iranian military base, our correspondent

00:04 Younus Soner brings us an interview with Hamid Reza Golamzadeh, deputy for international

00:11 affairs of the Tehran City Council.

00:14 Do we know what happened exactly last night?

00:19 We don't have accurate information so far, but based on the reports and the things that

00:26 we are hearing from the social media, observation of the people and the reports that are coming

00:33 inside Iran is that there were some actually quadcopters infiltrating into the airspace

00:42 and trying to attack a plane in Tehran, an Airbus actually in Tehran, but they were actually

00:49 downed by the defense system and actually the recording from the people in the city

00:57 of Isfahan shows that the defense system is actually shooting at some targets at the sky

01:07 during the night.

01:08 And the only, based on the reports and the hearings from my sources in the city of Isfahan,

01:15 the only thing that has happened is that one of the quadcopters has hit an office building

01:20 and actually has run into a window of an office building and that was the old casualties.

01:30 So we don't have any reports of casualties.

01:33 And unlike what Western mainstream media like CNN, ABC, CBS and such things are actually

01:41 reporting, there have been no missiles actually.

01:45 How do you describe the general atmosphere right now in the city of Tehran where you

01:50 are and in the country in general?

01:52 Is there any kind of panic?

01:55 Is there any...

01:56 You might not believe that, but I woke up this morning and read a lot of funny things

02:03 making fun of this so-called attack because they are comparing actually the Iranian missiles

02:11 versus these quadcopters that are being used.

02:14 And it's just a...

02:16 Atmosphere is just fun across country and you can see in the social media, the media

02:23 among the people who are talking about that, everyone is just laughing at the situation

02:29 that has happened there.

02:30 How will the Islamic Republic of Iran react to this attack?

02:34 Iran has reiterated that it's going to respond the way any sabotage or any attack or any

02:44 hostility would occur against it.

02:48 So if it is a sabotage, there might be some sabotage.

02:50 Iran is not going to take it very serious to launch missiles against that because as

02:55 I said, it was just a very small incident that cannot be...

03:01 It can be ignored actually, but it's not going to ignore that.

03:06 It's going to be some sabotage at that same level against Israel.

03:11 Thank you very much for taking this time.
