The Netanyahu administration threatened to respond after Iran launched a drone and missile attack on Israel last Saturday.
However, the United States and several European countries urged Israel not to take any tough action against Iran. But the Israeli forces ignored the call and attacked. However, it is not known whether there were any casualties or damage in this attack.
According to the report of the Iranian news agency Fars, explosions were heard at the airport in the city of Isfahan in Iran. Iran has several nuclear power plants in this city.
Meanwhile, Iran has already warned that if Israel retaliates, it will be given a strong response. The President of the country, Ibrahim Raisi, recently said in a parade organized on the occasion of the Army Day, that any attack by the Zionist rulers (Israel) on our soil will be met with a strong response.
The commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force warned at the same event that its warplanes, including the Russian-made Sukhoi-24, were in the “best state of readiness” to counter an Israeli attack.
Brigadier General Amir Vahedi said, we have full preparedness in all areas including air coverage and bombers and we are ready for any operation.
It should be noted that Iran launched its first direct attack on Israel last weekend as a ‘revenge’ for the suspected Israeli attack on Iran’s diplomatic compound in Damascus on April 1. Since then there has been extreme tension between the two sides. Analysts believe that the new Israeli attack has added fuel to the fire.
