an Iranian air base targeted by Israel?

Several explosions were heard at 4 a.m. in central Iran, on the night of Thursday April 18 to Friday April 19, causing panic among residents. Iranian anti-aircraft defense has been activated. At dawn, official Iranian television dispatches journalists to show that everything is calm in this region. However, according to a resident, a panic did occur.

Calls for restraint

The military authorities put the attack on the territory into perspective. “The relatively loud noise heard this morning in Isfahan was not an explosion but the firing of rockets and air defense systems”, said Sivash Mihandoost, provincial air defense commander. The civilian population, on the other hand, does not minimize their fear. The targeted area in Iran is close to a military base and the Natanz nuclear power plant.

Were these strikes retaliation after the unprecedented drone and missile attacks on the Jewish state on April 13? The Hebrew State does not confirm but does not deny being behind this operation. In this context of escalation, many leaders have called for restraint.
