#GlobalNews, #Israel has launched a missile attack against a site in Iran, according to US broadcaster #ABC #News. Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency has reported explosions in Isfahan province with state television reporting flights in several cities have been suspended.
There were also reports of explosions in Syria and Iraq.
The assault comes days after Iran fired an unprecedented barrage of drones and missiles at Israel in retaliation to a suspected Israeli attack on its consulate in Syria on April 1.
