Iran's state media reported explosions in the central province of Isfahan Friday, as US media quoted officials saying Israel had carried out retaliatory strikes on its arch-rival.

Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi attends a military parade alongside high-ranking officials and commanders during a ceremony marking the country’s annual army day in Tehran on April 17, 2024. Iran’s state media reported explosions in the central province of Isfahan Friday, as US media quoted officials saying Israel had carried out retaliatory strikes on its arch-rival.

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.

Iran attacked in retaliation for the April 1 strike on its consulate in Damascus which killed seven of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, including two generals. “We are holding Iran accountable,” Biden said on Thursday, announcing the measures after the European Union said it would also sanction Iran’s drone programme.

The dawn strikes on Friday “targeted a radar installation of the Syrian army” between the provinces of Sweida and Daraa provinces, said Rami Abdel Rahman, who heads the Observatory.
