Israeli Missiles Hit Site In Islamic Nation

Israeli missiles struck a site in Iran, ABC News quoted US official as saying late night on Thursday. Iran’s Fars news agency confirmed explosions at an airport in Isafahan, but the cause was unclear.

CNN also reported that some flights were diverted over Iranian airspace. This incident follows Iran’s launch of hundreds of drones and missiles in a retaliatory strike after a suspected Israeli strike on its embassy compound in Syria over the weekend.

Most of Iran’s drones and missiles were intercepted before reaching Israeli territory. Iran told the United Nations Security Council that Israel should be stopped from any further military action against Iranian interests, as the UN secretary-general cautioned that the Middle East was in a “moment of maximum peril.”

Israel had indicated its intention to retaliate against Iran’s missile and drone attack on April 13.
