Iran's media on Friday published footage and images of calm scenes in the country after an unclaimed aerial attack hit Isfahan province. Air defenses intercepted three drones, an Iranian official said, after reports of explosions near an army base in the central region.
Following the reports, Iranian state media showed residents walking near Isfahan landmarks such as the Naqsh-e Jahan square and along the Zayandeh Rud river, while normal traffic was reported in the city, according to semi-official news outlet.
Isfahan airport was operating as normal after airports were earlier closed around the country, according to semi-official Tasnim news.
Meanwhile, in the northwest city of Tabriz — where air defenses were also activated — video showed normal traffic and pedestrians in parks and on the streets.
It is important to note that a US official informed a source that Israel carried out a strike on Iran, a move that threatens to further escalate regional conflict. The Israeli military has not commented on the situation.
