Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdullahian Iranian In response to the attack Israel The alleged action has been dismissed as child’s play.
On Friday, Iran’s foreign minister said Tehran would not respond to an attack unless Iranian “interests” were targeted.
Iranian state media reported on Friday that explosions were heard. According to an Iranian official, the small drones were successfully shot down.
US media have quoted officials as saying that Israel attacked Iran last week in retaliation for drone and missile attacks on Israel.
The Iranian foreign minister said in an interview to the news channel NBC that ‘what happened last night was not an attack. It was a flight of two or three quadcopters, which are toys that Iranian children play with.’
He added: ‘As long as there is no new campaign by the Israeli government against Iran’s interests, we will not respond.’

After Friday’s blasts, world leaders called for calm and de-escalation amid fears of a wider conflict in the wake of the Israeli offensive in Gaza.
Between last Saturday and Sunday, Iran launched its first direct attack on Israel. The attack was carried out in response to a deadly airstrike on Tehran’s consulate in Damascus on April 1, which Iran blamed on Israel.
The Israeli military says most of the more than 300 missiles and drones fired by Iran were shot down with the help of the United States and other allies. Very little damage was done in this attack.
Israeli officials had no official comment on Friday’s incident. Analysts say that both sides are currently considering de-escalation.
According to Hossein Amir Abdullahian: ‘If the Israeli government intends to take another action against our interests, our next response will be immediate and maximum.’
