According to Iran's FARS news agency, an explosion was heard in the northwest of the Iranian city of Isfahan, while the same information was also broadcast by Iranian Press TV. However, Iranian officials later claimed that there was no strike on the ground, but instead that three targets were intercepted in the sky over Iran. At the same time, Tehran assured that its nuclear facilities are safe.
Shortly after the alleged Israeli missiles were reported, Florida Senator Marco Rubio published a post on X that read "Israel has the ability to strike targets inside Iran without entering Iranian airspace from aircraft over Syrian and Iraqi airspace."
Immediately after the Israeli attack, Iran cleared its entire airspace and diverted all aircraft away from the missile launch sites, preparing to launch a response.
