In a significant development in the Middle East, Israel has attacked Iran in the central city of Isfahan. This action may lead to a potential escalation in the ongoing tensions in the region. Israel has refrained from making any official statements regarding the strike, while Iran has not identified the origin of the attack.
An Iranian official has stated that their air defenses successfully intercepted three drones, with no reports of a missile attack. Iranian media sources have assured the public that locations linked to Iran’s nuclear program remain secure. Additionally, there are videos released that shows areas being completely peaceful where explosions were heard earlier.
The decision for Israel to strike comes after careful deliberation following Iran’s attack on one of their airbases, most of which was intercepted. These strikes were reportedly in retaliation for a suspected Israeli attack on Iran’s embassy compound in Syria earlier in the month.
A US official revealed that on Thursday, they were informed about Israel’s planned response to Iran but did not lend their endorsement to it.
