JERUSALEM, Israel – Israel has reportedly struck targets in Iran in response to last weekend’s unprecedented missile and drone attack against the Jewish state.

The Iranian Tasnim news agency reported the assault took place in the southeastern part of the city of Isfahan, near its “nuclear energy mountain.”

Isfahan is the site of one of Iran’s major nuclear sites that enriches uranium for the country’s nuclear program. 

According to The Jerusalem Post reporting on X, the attack in Isfahan was carried out with “long-range missiles launched from aircraft, not drones or land-to-air missiles.”

An Iranian official told Reuters, “There is no plan for an immediate response. It is not clear who is behind the attack.”

An Iranian TV anchor, Gisoo Misha Ahmadi, downplayed the attack and quoted a military official in Isfahan.

”He (the official) did confirm that there were some loud sounds that were heard in the east of the city of Isfahan and this was related to the air defense system – as we told you and our viewers before – triggered by the presence of three small drones that were present in that area.” 

Other reporters near Isfahan showed how quiet and normal Isfahan looked on local television and Iranian officials are also downplaying the incident.
