Iran's state television announced on Friday that Iranian nuclear facilities had not sustained any damage, and that the nuclear facilities near Isfahan are "completely safe." An American official told CNN that Israel carried out a strike inside Iran, but did not target a nuclear site. The Tasnim news agency reported, citing "reliable sources," that "information published in some foreign media regarding an incident at these facilities is incorrect."
Meanwhile, Iranian state television reported that the sounds of explosions in Tabriz were due to air defense systems, and there were no explosions on the ground in the city. Iran activated its air defense systems in several provinces following reports of at least one explosion in central Iran, according to the official Iranian news agency IRNA. Additionally, commercial flights to and from several airports, including Tehran, were suspended, as reported by the Mehr news agency.
Sources told the Fars news agency on Friday that air defense systems in Isfahan were activated to deal with a "suspected drone." The semi-official agency added that three explosions were heard near a military base in the northwest of the city. Earlier, the Director of Public Relations for Air Navigation announced the suspension of flights from Tehran, Isfahan, and other areas today after an explosion of unknown origin was heard. The channel released a video it claimed showed the activation of air defenses in Isfahan. This comes less than a week after an Iranian attack targeting military sites inside Israel, which Israel vowed to respond to.
