Israel, early Friday morning local time, launched missiles in a retaliatory strike against Iran, US TV network ABC News reported late Friday, citing a US official, while Iran’s Fars news agency, reporting on the blast, said an air defense system had been activated in the city of Isfahan.
Iran’s Fars news agency reported that an explosion was heard near the airport in the Iranian city of Isfahan, but the cause of the attack was not immediately known.
