Civil defense system implemented in 51 cities of Iran due to tension with Israel and America

 Tehran: Iran has equipped its 51 cities and towns with civil defense systems to thwart any possible foreign attack.

A senior defense official said that the decision to activate the civil defense system was made in view of the escalation of tensions with Israel and the US.

Iranian media quoted Deputy Defense Minister General Mehdi Farahi as saying that the civil defense equipment enables Iran's armed forces to "identify and monitor threats using software 24 hours a day".

He said that these days the form of battles has become more complicated. He added that hybrid forms of warfare, including cyber, biological and radiological attacks, have replaced classical warfare.

He did not name the countries that could threaten Iran.
