[ワシントン １８日 ロイター] – An Israeli missile hit an Iranian base, ABC News reported late on the 18th, citing a US government official.
Iran’s Fars news agency reported that an explosion was heard at the airport in the central city of Isfahan. The reason is unknown at this time. Isfahan province is home to several Iranian nuclear facilities, including the uranium enrichment facility at Natanz.
According to CNN, several planes are bypassing Iranian airspace.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced on the 13th of this month that it had launched unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) and missiles against specific targets in Israel. Iran has vowed to retaliate after an attack believed to have been carried out by Israel near the Iranian embassy in the Syrian capital Damascus. Most of the drones and missiles were shot down before reaching Israeli territory.
