Israel has struck back at Iran.
That was according to three Reuters sources.
On Friday. Iranian state media reported explosions near an Army
base in the central city of Isfahan and said drones
were shot down.

which the West suspects are involved in developing atomic weapons,
were not damaged.

drones into Israel in retaliation for the attack on the
Iranian embassy in Damascus in Syria.
Most of Iran's drones and missiles were downed before reaching
Israeli territory.
There was no comment from Israel on the reports of
an attack.

told the United Nations Security Council that Israel should refrain
from any action.
Iran S legitimate defense and countermeasures have been concluded.
Therefore, the Israeli regime, the terrorists Israeli regime must be
compelled to stop any further military adventurism against our interests.
Certainly, in case of any use of force by the
Israeli regime and of violating our sovereignty,
the Islamic Republic of Iran will not hesitate a bit
to assert its inherent right to give a decisive and
proper response to it,
to make the regime regret its actions.

cities.
Flight tracking sites showed some airliners making sharp turns away
from the country's airspace.

April 13th missile and drone attack.

concerned that any retaliation could spark broader conflict in the
region.
1 Reuters source said the US was notified of the
Israeli strike but not involved.

response to any attack on its territory.
