Iranian state media reported that air defences in the central city of Isfahan had intercepted three drones, resulting in explosions and the suspension of flights in several areas, including Tehran and Isfahan.
The report comes after US broadcasters cited senior US officials claiming Israeli missiles had targeted an Iranian site.
Israel has reportedly conducted a military operation against Iran, as confirmed by US officials. However, the specifics of these operations have not been disclosed.
US officials reported that Israel informed them on Thursday of an impending strike within the next 24 to 48 hours, which was later confirmed to have taken place.
The operation was said to be retaliation for Iran’s attack on Israel last weekend, which involved more than 300 drones and missiles, most of which were intercepted.
Israeli officials assured their American counterparts that the attack would not target Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The US Treasury Department announced new sanctions on Iran targeting its drone production capabilities, following Iran’s attack on Israel.
