Has Israel attacked Iran’s Isfahan province? What we know so far

Iran deployed air defence batteries to intercept three drones, but downplayed the incident.

Iran’s air defence systems were deployed in multiple parts of the country early Friday morning after reports of explosions near the airport in Isfahan province, amid rapidly escalating tensions with Israel, according to state media.

On Friday, there were also reported explosions in Iraq and Syria.

Here is what we know so far:

In a news conference, Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said the US government told the G7 grouping of nations it was informed at the “very last minute” by Israel about the attack “but there was no sharing of the attack by the US. It was a mere information”.
