CNN’s Abby Phillip reported, “There’s breaking news tonight reports that Israel may have hit back Iran’s semi-official FARS News Agency, citing local sources, says tonight an explosion was heard northwest of Isfahan. That is about four hours south of the capital city of Tehran and we can’t say anything right now about what caused that explosion. But if Israel did in fact strike that decision would ignore persistent pushing from the United States and its allies all across the world to show restraint.”
On Monday, the Israeli military announced that it would retaliate against Iran’s unprecedented drone and missile attack over the weekend that was mostly intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome defense system. Iran launched the attacks after Israel droned the Iranian consulate in Syria, killing at least seven officials.
