Iran's Mehr news agency denies reports that Revolutionary Guards were trapped in tunnels at the Ali al-Tahr ridge in southern Lebanon. According to Mehr, only Hezbollah operatives were in the tunnels Israel struck, 48 in total, with eight killed.
A regional security source separately disputed the New York Times report, saying there are no IRGC advisors at the ridge and Iran's link to the infrastructure there was funding, not physical presence.
Mehr claims Iran has positioned air defense units at more than 3,800 sites nationwide, including islands, coastal areas, deserts and mountainous regions.
Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Baqaei, responding to Mehr News: European nations have "turned a blind eye" and chosen to "appease the aggressor." He said Europe's fuel and financial problems stem from "America's illegal actions," adding that European states realized this long ago but lack "the moral courage to speak out."
