The Geopoliticintel Telegram channel reported at 19:59 IRST (4:29 p.m. UTC) on December 12, 2025, that the Iranian Air Force engaged in at least three aerial clashes with Israeli drones and fighters over the past two days and nights in Iranian airspace, according to posts from @geopoliticintel during the reporting window from 4:18 p.m. to 5:47 p.m. UTC. An informant source cited by the channel stated that Iranian air forces shot down nearly all Israeli drones, neutralized attacks, and forced Israeli fighters to withdraw from Iranian skies in less than an hour, with no official sources reporting the incidents due to concerns over publicizing alleged Israeli ceasefire violations. At 20:10 IRST (4:40 p.m. UTC) the same day, the channel published pictures described as showing one of the Israeli drones flying over Tehran that morning.
