Israel-Iran war LIVE: Israeli missiles targeted a site in Iran, as confirmed by a US official, according to a report from ABC News on Thursday. This comes shortly after Iran responded to an attack on its embassy in Syria with a drone strike against Israel.
Fars news agency in Iran reported an explosion at an airport in Isfahan, though the cause remains unclear. Isfahan province hosts several crucial nuclear sites, including Natanz, which is vital to Iran’s uranium enrichment program.
However, an Iranian official told Reuters that the explosion were a result of activation of Iran’s air defence systems, and that no missile attack was carried out against Iran.
CNN noted that several flights were rerouted over Iranian airspace amidst escalating tensions. Over the past weekend, Iran launched a barrage of drones and missiles in retaliation for a suspected Israeli strike on its embassy in Syria. The majority of these projectiles were intercepted before reaching Israeli territory.
