Reports of Israeli missile attack on site in Iran
US TV network ABC News, citing an unnamed US official, has reported that Israeli missiles have hit a site in Iran. Iran’s Fars news agency said an explosion was heard at an airport in the Iranian city of Isfahan but the cause was not immediately known, the Reuters news agency reports.
Iranian state media also reports that flights have been suspended over several cities including Isfahan, Shiraz and Tehran.
Reuters said that several Iranian nuclear sites are located in Isfahan province, including Natanz, which is considered the centrepiece of Iran’s uranium enrichment programme.
Tension between Israel and Iran has grown in recent weeks leading to the launching by Tehran of hundreds of drones and missiles in a retaliatory strike after a suspected Israeli strike on the Iranian embassy compound in Syria on April 1.

Iran activates air defence over several cities: State media
Iranian state media reports that air defence systems have been activated over several cities after explosions were heard near the central city of Isfahan. “Iran’s air defence has been activated in the skies of several provinces of the country,” the official IRNA news agency said.
The cause of the explosions heard in Isfahan remains unknown, according to Iranian media, though ABC News earlier reported a US official as saying that Israel had launched missiles against a target in Iran.
