Israel launched a strike against Iran in retaliation for its weekend attack, US media reported.
Iran activated its air defense system over several cities, state media reported, after the country’s official broadcaster said explosions were heard near the central city of Isfahan.
Several Iranian nuclear sites are located in Isfahan province, including Natanz, centerpiece of Iran’s uranium enrichment program. Nuclear facilities in Isfahan were reported to be “completely secure”, Iran’s Tasnim news agency said.
Though some media reports said that missiles had been fired, Iran said that they have shot down several drones but there had been “no missile attack for now”.
Several drones “have been successfully shot down by the country’s air defence, there are no reports of a missile attack for now,” Iran’s space agency spokesman Hossein Dalirian said on X.
