Israel reportedly attacks Iran

Iranian state media has stated that the country’s air defence systems brought down three drones over the central city of Isfahan.

According to latest development, the Iranian news agency Tasnim has cited “informed sources” as saying that “there are no reports of an attack from abroad against Isfahan or any other part of Iran”.

Separately, an Iranian analyst argued on state television that mini-drones were flown by “infiltrators from inside” the country, according to Al Jazeera.

The International Atomic Energy Agency says it can confirm that there has been no damage to Iran’s nuclear sites.

Meanwhile, US media, citing senior US officials, also reported that Israeli missiles had hit an Iranian site.

Iranian air defence systems were activated and flights across several areas including Tehran and Isfahan were suspended.

Regional tensions rose following Iran’s retaliatory strike on Israel after an attack on its diplomatic premises in Syria.

There are fears of all-out confrontation after Iran had been warning Israel that it would respond strongly to any aggression.
