Iran denies Israeli claim on striking 20 targets

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 26, ARMENPRESS. Iranian official media dismissed the Israeli claim that it targeted 20 targets across Iran and said that Israel is seeking to “overplay its weak attack.”

Israel struck military sites in Iran early on Saturday, saying it was retaliating against Tehran's strikes on Israel this month. 

Tasnim news agency, citing a source, reported that the Israeli military's claim that it targeted 20 locations across Iran is untrue and that the number of locations targeted by Israel is significantly lower. 

The Israeli attack caused limited damages, Tasnim reported.

The source also confirmed a previous report from Tasnim that none of the military centers of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps in Tehran has been targeted.

“The reports alleging that 100 Israeli military planes have had a role in the strike are also complete lies, as Israel is seeking to overplay its weak attack,” the source told Tasnim.
