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.
