Iran, the Foreign Minister downplays the explosion in Isfahan: “It was not an attack”

What happened between Thursday and Friday in Isfahan, Iran, “was not an attack”. The Iranian Foreign Minister said this to the broadcaster “Nbc News”, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian. “It involved the flight of two or three small aircraft, similar to the toys our children use in Iran,” said the head of Iranian diplomacy. Already yesterday the Iranian authorities declared that the noises heard in Isfahan “were linked to the activation of the air defense system by three mini drones” and that the situation had returned to normal.

Previously, international media had reported that the alleged attack was Israel’s announced response to the raid launched by Tehran on April 13 against the Jewish state. In the interview, Amir-Abdollahian he made it clear that since this is not an attack, there will be no response unless Iranian interests are targeted. “Until there is a new adventure by the Israeli regime against Iran’s interests, we will have no response,” she added.

However, according to US media, the alleged Israeli attack in Iran on the night between Thursday and Friday went beyond the range of several small drones described by Tehran. According to US media, three missiles were launched in the attack from Israeli Air Force warplanes targeting an air defense radar site near Isfahan, part of a deployment to defend the nearby Natanz nuclear site.
