She also told CNN there was a heavy Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps presence in the city “all day” on Friday, but could not provide more details.

Iranian air defence firing at drones
Iranian officials say the sound of explosions in Tehran is the air defence system intervening – these are anti-aircraft systems shooting at drones. We can confirm that the majority of these are drone attacks, not missiles or aircraft.
The question is where these have been launched from, Israel or somewhere else? Because, usually, these aerial vehicles don’t have a long range. Iranian officials are not reporting any casualties. They are saying that no military target has been hit in a meaningful way.
