With sounds of explosions reverberating around central Iran on Friday morning, concerns of an all-out war in the Middle East are growing all over the world, as media reported that it was Israel that launched the strike, just a few days after Iran’s first direct attack in retaliation to Israel’s bombing of its diplomatic mission in Syria on April 1.
Iran’s air defenses said it had brought down three small drones over the central city of Isfahan, hours after US broadcasters said Israeli missiles had hit an Iranian site. The broadcasters quoted senior US officials. Iranian state television reported explosions in Isfahan as air defences were activated and flights across several areas, including the capital Tehran and Isfahan, were suspended. Airspace was reopened about four and a half hours after the incident and there were no reports of casualties.
