Explosions were reported in Iran on the morning of Friday April 19. While no Iranian leader has commented publicly on them, American officials say it is an Israeli attack carried out against Iran in retaliation for Iranian strikes against Israel on April 13.
In images broadcast by the Revolutionary Guards in Iran, we see Iranian air defense in action on the morning of Friday April 19. According to the spokesperson for the country’s Space Agency, several drones were successfully shot down, but he denies a possible attack carried out using missiles or a large-scale action. A position quickly confirmed by an Iranian agency. No Iranian leader has publicly commented on the reported explosions in the country. According to another official agency close to power, no damage has been reported.
The attack reportedly targeted the city of Isfahan
According to American media, the attack would have targeted the city of Isfahan, where there is a nuclear site. American officials quoted by several television stations claim that this is an Israeli attack carried out against Iran in retaliation for Iranian strikes against Israel on April 13. They even state that Israel warned Washington of this response on Thursday. For its part, the Israeli army told AFP that it had no comment to make at this time. On Thursday, during a summit at the United Nations, Iran warned Israel against any attempt at an armed response.
