Iranian air defences fire back at Israeli retaliation drone attack
IRANIAN air defences fired back when an Israeli drone attack targeted a major air base and a nuclear site near the central city of Isfahan today.
The strike came just days after Iran launched a drone and missile assault on Israel in retaliation for an April 1 Israeli air strike on Tehran’s consulate in the Syrian capital Damascus.
Israel had vowed to respond, leading Iranian officials warn that they would retaliate in turn.
