US Israel missile strike claims as Iran fires air defence at two sites after drones spotted
Commercial flights began diverting their routes early on Friday morning over western Iran without explanation as one semi-official news agency in the Islamic Republic claimed there had been “explosions” heard over the city of Isfahan

US officials have claimed an Israeli retaliatory missile has been fired, as Iran triggered air defences at a major air base and a nuclear site near the central city of Isfahan after spotting drones early on Friday morning.
Iranian state media are citing unconfirmed reports of explosions in central province of Isfahan. US officials told the BBC’s US partner CBS News a missile had been fired by Israel at Iran, following Tehran’s unprecedented drone-and-missile assault on the country earlier this week.
However, it was unclear if the country came under attack, as no Iranian official has directly acknowledged the possibility and Israel’s military did not respond to a request for comment.
