(Isfahan, Iran)  --  Israel has launched a retaliatory strike against Iran.  

U.S. officials confirm missiles have struck a number of locations inside Iran, with no word yet on whether there were any casualties. Several explosions were reported near an airbase in the Iranian city of Isfahan, home to a number of sites linked to Iran's nuclear program. The International Atomic Energy Agency says it can confirm that none of the sites sustained any damage. A posting on X says the Director General of the IAEA "continues to call for extreme restraint from everybody and reiterates that nuclear facilities should never be a target in military conflicts."

This all comes after Israel vowed to respond to Iran's missile and drone attack earlier this week.
