Iran unveils new weapons as regional tensions rise. On Saturday, Iran announced two local systems, one for anti-ballistic missiles and the other for low-altitude air defense.

The announcement came amid escalating tensions in the region, as Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi group carried out a series of attacks on ships linked to the United States, the United Kingdom and Israel. Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, leaving tens of thousands of civilian casualties.
