In the early hours of this morning, Iran came under an apparent Israeli strike.
We have been reporting on the situation, but here’s a reminder of what we know so far:
- Iran fired its air defence batteries in several provinces, including near a major military base in Isfahan, according to state-run IRNA news agency;
- Iranian state TV then reported three drones were destroyed shortly after midnight in the sky over the central city of Isfahan;
- An source familiar with the situation then told our US partner NBC news that Israel carried out an operation in Iran;
- The source also said Israeli officials notified US officials that a response was coming;
- No damage or casualties have been reported so far;
- Israel has not yet commented on the attack but has previously vowed to respond afterIran’s unprecedented attack at the weekend;
- A senior Iranian official has told Reuters the country has no plans to immediately retaliate.
