In a flurry of events, explosions have been reported in Isfahan Province, central Iran, near an airbase. Iranian state media confirmed the explosions, prompting Iran to activate air defense systems not only in Isfahan but also in several other provinces.
Simultaneously, blasts were reported in Iraq and southern Syria, raising concerns over regional stability. US officials, however, confirmed that Israel was not behind the attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Iranian officials were quick to respond, claiming Israeli attempts had failed and were humiliating, with all alleged Israeli assets being shot down. Iranian media also reported the downing of “flying objects” by their air defenses.
While explosions were heard in parts of Iran due to the activation of air defenses, officials reassured the public that the situation in Isfahan remained normal, with no ground explosions reported.
In the northwestern city of Tabriz, reports of an explosion were traced back to the city’s air defense system firing upon a suspicious object, with no actual explosion occurring on the ground.
Iranian State TV detailed the events, stating that drones were observed over Isfahan, prompting the activation of air defenses which successfully destroyed them.
Speculation arose regarding the origin of the attacks, with Iranian media suggesting Israeli involvement through parties located in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.
As tensions escalate, concerns mount over potential wide-scale Iranian attacks on the Iraqi Kurdistan region, fueled by reports of drones emerging from that area. The situation remains fluid as authorities monitor developments closely amidst heightened regional tensions.
