Iran's state media reported explosions in the central province of Isfahan on Friday, as US media quoted officials saying Israel had carried out retaliatory strikes against its arch-rival.
A handout image grab made available by the Iranian state TV, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting , shows what the TV said was a live picture of the city of Isfahan early on April 19, 2024, following reports of explosions heard in the province in central Iran. Iran's state media reported explosions in the northwest of the central province of Isfahan on April 19, as US media quoted officials saying Israel had carried out retaliatory strikes on its arch-rival.
There had been no reaction from Israeli or Iranian officials, and the extent of the damage remained unclear. Three Iranian officials told The New York Times that small drones carried out the attack, possibly launched from inside Iran, and that its radar systems had not detected unidentified aircraft entering Iranian airspace.
US President Joe Biden had promised "ironclad" support for Israel but also urged it to "think carefully and strategically" before launching a response against Iran that could trigger a wider war.Overnight last Saturday-Sunday Iran carried out its first-ever attack directly targeting Israel, its regional foe.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been under international pressure over the civilian toll in Gaza's war. China, Iran's largest trade partner, on Friday said it will "continue to play a constructive role to de-escalate" tensions in the Middle East.
