Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 20
By Khalid Kazimov – Trend:
Private drones and quadcopters have been banned from flying over the Iranian capital city of Tehran, a security official said.
Brigadier General Alireza Rabie, the deputy commander of the Sarallah Headquarters, has said that the owners of drones need to obtain the required permissions in order to fly over the capital city, Tasnim news agency reported.
The Sarallah Headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) is in charge of providing security in the capital city, the IRGC official added.
On January 16, news sources reported on continued air defense shooting in the central areas of Tehran, a no-fly zone encompassing the headquarters of the supreme leader and the president.
That was the second unleashing of air defense in downtown Tehran in less than a month due to the same reason.
On December 23, 2016, Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Air Defense Base said that its forces had shot down an unmanned aircraft in the same area.
