Three explosions rang out in the Iranian city of Kahjavarestan in the area of the Shkari Artesh tower in the northeast of Isfahan in the morning of April 19. This was reported by the Fars news agency.
"Sources told the media that three explosions were heard in the northeast of Isfahan," the report said.
The news agency clarified that the cause of the explosion is not yet known, and Fars is trying to determine the exact cause of the incident.
According to the agency, not far from the place where the explosions rang out, the base of the country's Air Force is located. It is believed that air defenses (ADF) in the area reacted to the approaching drones.
At the same time, a high-ranking American official in an interview with ABC News said that Israel launched missiles early Friday morning local time as part of a retaliatory strike against Iran.
Why Israel attacked Iran
On April 13, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that Iran had launched dozens of unmanned aerial vehicles in the direction of Israel. The Jerusalem Post also said that Tehran could launch long-range ballistic missiles and other missiles at Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recorded a video message in which he said that the country had been preparing for an attack by Iran for years. According to him, defense systems are already deployed and ready for any direct attack on the country.
On April 17, The Jerusalem Post, citing its own sources, reported that the IDF has decided how it will launch counterattacks against Iran and its allies, but it is not known when exactly this will happen.
"Variants of the attack range from striking Iranian nuclear facilities to striking drone or ballistic missile facilities that were directly involved in the Iranian strike," the article said.
In addition, the options of killing only specific unnamed persons together with their accomplices were considered.
We will remind, on April 14, The Times of Israel, referring to the statement of an unnamed representative of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, published information that the United States of America and Great Britain intercepted more than 100 unmanned aerial vehicles launched by Iran over Israel.
On April 17, the State Department explained why the United States does not protect Ukraine from attacks like Israel does. There, they explained this by the fact that Washington and Jerusalem have had a partnership for decades, while relations with Kyiv are slightly different. In addition, the USA does not want to enter into a conflict with Russia.
