"The Zionist enemy sought to destroy Iran's defense capabilities, and some of our defense systems were damaged in that war," army operations chief Mahmoud Mousavi was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency.
"The damaged defence systems have now been replaced," he added.
Live Events
Iran's air defence network includes systems like the domestically built Bavar-373 and Khordad-15, designed to counter missiles and aircraft. Iran also installed Russia's S-300 air defense systems in 2016.
The war with Israel killed more than 1,000 people in Iran, while Iranian fire killed at least 28 people in Israel, according to authorities in each country.
Israel's attacks targeted military infrastructure and nuclear facilities across Iran.
On June 22, Israel's ally the United States also carried out unprecedented strikes on Iranian nuclear sites at Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz.
The full extent of the damage to Iran's nuclear programme remains unclear.
US President Donald Trump has insisted the sites were "completely destroyed", but US media reports have cast doubt on the severity of the damage.
On Friday, NBC News, citing a military damage assessment, reported that only one of the three sites was mostly destroyed.
A ceasefire between Iran and Israel has been in effect since June 24.
After the truce was announced, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to prevent Iran from rebuilding its nuclear capabilities, raising the prospect of renewed conflict.
Earlier in July, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said Israel was formulating a plan to "ensure that Iran cannot threaten Israel again."
Katz said the military had to maintain its "air superiority over Tehran, the ability to enforce restrictions on Iran and prevent it from rebuilding its capabilities".

India-UK FTA: Businesses operating in India-UK space enthused by FTA boost
Business leaders and industry experts operating within the India-UK corridor on Thursday expressed enthusiasm around the FTA to be signed between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his UK counterpart, Keir Starmer , significantly cutting tariff lines and regulatory processes across sectors. While Starmer dubbed the deal as a "major win" for British companies , many expressed excitement at the prospects of a greater flow of goods and services that it would facilitate and present consumers with a greater choice of cheaper offers.

"As one of the leading producers of South Asian foods in the UK and Europe, we import a variety of agri food products from India such as pulses and lentils, spices, nuts, flours and rice," said Rahul Kale, International Director of Vibrant Foods . "We are excited about this landmark Free Trade Agreement between (the) UK and India as it will make trade between the two countries easier, boost job creation and encourage innovation. Live Events "We are particularly looking forward to the sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) alignment of food safety standards between the two countries, which will lead to reduction of export health certificates and reduce border checks and rejections on agri food products from India," he said. Shivalkar Paramanandam, UK-based Director of QDT Analytics, is involved in the area of export-import of products such as alcohol and food products. "We are very excited because after the UK-India trade deal , business dealing will become even easier for us. Before there was a 150 per cent tax (on alcohol imports to India), which will now be reduced and also a lot of documentation will be cut to a very straightforward process for us to do the exports and imports between the UK and India," he said. The deal, which is projected to double bilateral trade between both nations to USD 120 billion by 2030, has been dubbed the "biggest and most significant Free Trade Agreement" that the United Kingdom has signed since Brexit. "I believe this historic agreement will act as a catalyst, turbocharging trade, investment and business partnerships between our two great nations. I am confident that we will see bilateral trade double to over GBP 80 billion within the next five years," said Lord Karan Bilimoria, founder of Cobra Beer and co-chair of the India All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG). "Prime Minister Modi's visit to the UK this week underscores the strength and strategic importance of this partnership. His presence for the signing of this deal is a powerful symbol of the deep trust and mutual respect between our countries. The UK and India are the best of friends, and we have the best of potential. This agreement is not just a milestone - it is a launchpad," he said. Manoj Ladwa, chair of India Global Forum (IGF) and founder of the UK India Future Forum, highlighted the sector-wide sweep of the FTA, heralding it as a chance to forge a "substantive partnership grounded in mutual ambition, global problem-solving, and future-facing sectors like AI, life sciences, green tech, and digital transformation". "Since Brexit, successive UK governments have struggled to articulate a clear, compelling vision for Britain's role on the world stage. 'Global Britain' remains more slogan than strategy. Modi's visit, and the FTA it underlines, provides a rare opportunity to change that," he said. The FTA, which was agreed on May 6, completes the formal legal scrubbing of text to be tabled in the British Parliament this week. A ratification process will now be initiated by the UK government before it can be enforced in the coming months.

Retailers leased 2.24 million square feet during April-June quarter
Retailers leased 2.24 million square feet of space across malls and high streets in the top eight cities during April-June, 5.4% dip q-o-q and a 6.3% dip y-o-y. According to Cushman & Wakefield, H1 2025 leasing volumes stood at 4.61 MSF, marking a 17% y-o-y growth. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category Artificial Intelligence Operations Management MCA MBA Product Management Leadership Healthcare Digital Marketing Data Science Technology Project Management Public Policy Data Science Finance healthcare CXO Others PGDM Design Thinking Data Analytics Degree others Management Cybersecurity Skills you'll gain: Duration: 7 Months S P Jain Institute of Management and Research CERT-SPJIMR Exec Cert Prog in AI for Biz India Starts on undefined Get Details Malls accounted for 45% of leasing volume in Q2 (1.01 MSF) –a 42% q-o-q rise, and the highest mall share in the past five quarters, signaling growing interest in experience-driven, structured retail formats. However, high streets witnessed a 26% q-o-q decline, although they continued to dominate with 55% (1.23 MSF) of leasing activity, underscoring the persistent undersupply of quality mall stock across cities. No new mall supply was added in Q2, and Grade A mall completions for H1 2025 stood at 1.3 million square feet. As a result, mall vacancy levels dropped by around 77 basis points to 8.16% in Q2 2025, with premium Grade-A+ or superior malls witnessing even tighter vacancies at just 4.28%. This highlights the growing demand for premium retail assets and further strengthening landlord leverage in prime locations. Meanwhile, average mainstreet rents remained stable on a q-o-qbasis, while recording a healthy 6% y-o-y rise. 'India's retail sector continues to demonstrate strong momentum, with consistent growth in leasing volumespointing to a healthy underlying demand. Nearly 4 MSF of new Grade A supply is expected in the second half of the year, particularly across key metros such as Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Hyderabad. This should help bring more balance to the market and open up fresh opportunities for retailers to expand in line with evolving consumer expectations,' said Suvishesh Valsan, Head, Research India at Cushman & Wakefield. In terms of cities, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi-NCR emerged as the top-performing markets, collectively accounting for over 70% of the total leasing activity in the quarter. Additionally, domestic retailers continued to maintain a dominant position in leasing volume with 86% share (1.93MSF). The quarter also witnessed a notable uptake in international retailer participation, whose share rose to 14% with 0.31 MSF of leasing activity, up from 8.5% in the previous quarter. This growth was largely driven by malls, which remain the preferred format for global brands seeking structured environments, brand visibility, and curated customer experiences.
