Elsewhere in the statement, the IRGC claimed that Iran has “tracked and destroyed three cruise missiles, 10 drones, and dozens of hostile micro-UAVs” in areas of Iran that were attacked. “Stuck” – that’s how most people I’ve spoken to describe life right now in Iran.

Israel and Iran's long-simmering tensions erupted into missile attacks last Friday, when Israel launched a suprise attack against military and nuclear targets in Iran and wiped out the top echelon of Iran's military command.

Israel and Iran kept up their attacks, killing and wounding civilians and raising concern among world leaders at a G7 meeting in Canada this week that the biggest battle between the two old enemies could lead to a broader regional conflict.
