Iran fired air defenses at a major air base and a nuclear site near the central city of Isfahan after spotting drones early Friday morning, raising fears of a possible Israeli strike in retaliation for Tehran’s unprecedented drone-and-missile assault on the country.
It was unclear if the country came under attack, as no Iranian official directly acknowledged the possibility and Israel’s military did not respond to a request for comment. However, tensions have been high since the Saturday assault on Israel amid its war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip and its own strikes targeting Iran in Syria.

Perhaps Iran fired the air defenses from Isfahan, not at Isfahan? Isfahan is in Iran.

Just a little intel gathering being done. Israel should send a couple of drones a day into Iran, to keep the cowardly mullahs on edge.

i read in Israeli sources that missiles not drones were used - so i am not sure how many sites were hit, and how. Israel intended to go 'covert,' saying nothing, to help keep temperature down, then Pentagon BLABBED. that was on front page of Jerusalem Post. Joe's Boys appear to have screwed up - Again.

A low level, high speed, fly by, of downtown Tehran would really rattle their cages.

So, Iran launches hundreds of drones and cruise missiles at Israel. Almost all of them are shot down before the cross the Israeli border, and the ones that do get in are shot down over Israel. Iran claims big victory for their total failure of an attack. Israel, in response, sends drones at Iranian nuke facilities, none of which are shot down, but non of which blew anything up, just to say "We can take you out any time we want."
So what should the takeaway be? That a country's leaders have to be absolutely insane to even think ab about attacking Israel. The only course of action Israel should be pursuing in Gaza is the total annihilation of Hamas, pounding the civilian population into total submission and surrender, then occupation and re-education. Oh, and no resistance allowed.

We all know how many Iranian missiles that Israel shot down. Probably 100%.
So, how many Israeli missiles did Iran stop? Probably ZERO.
Hard to build a nuke if the site is in ruins and half the scientists are dead. Iran could buy a nuke. How big an explosion does one get if a nuke is used to take out another nuke? Can see Israel bombing any site a nuke may be stored at.

Who knows that they thought they saw. I doubt Israel used drones....drones are cheapo lowbux excuses for cruise missiles, and if Israel is doing it, they would probably use cruise missiles or ballistic missiles.

So happy Israel repaid Iran for their attack on Israel ...it seems to be a complete attack...hitting command centers and military targets....the best part Israel told the Obama White House...they would reply to Iran after the Passover was over....and then they hit earlier and the White House couldn't tell Iran to take cover....the IDF and Mossad did a masterful job of keeping it quiet until they hit....I love it!!
