Australia is 'extremely concerned' that conflict could escalate after reports of explosions in the Iranian city of Isfahan, days after Iran attacked Israel. Here's what we know so far.

Iran's state media has reported explosions in the central city of Isfahan, as United States media quoted officials saying Israel had carried out retaliatory strikes on its arch-rival . The reports come less than a week after Iran launched a barrage of more than 300 drones and missiles in its first-ever direct assault on Israel's soil.

On Friday morning, Iranian television carried a live feed of normal road traffic at a roundabout in Isfahan. Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency reported there were "sounds heard over Isfahan", but the city was "completely calm and secure," Al Jazeera reported Washington received advance notice of Israel's reported strike, but did not endorse the operation or play any part in its execution, US media quoted officials as saying.
