Tehran: Israel is reported to have retaliated against Iran, which attacked Iran by sending more than 300 drones and missiles to its soil last Saturday. The attack took place in Isfahan, one of the main cities of Iran, at 4.40 am on Friday morning. However, Iran shot down all three attack drones using its air defense system. A spokesman for Iran’s Cyber Space Agency said that many small quadcopter drones were also destroyed. No damage was reported.
Iran dominated the event. He also said there were no plans to retaliate. It is considered that the response from the Iranian side is the success of the diplomats who are trying hard to end the war.
The attack was on the 85th birthday of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The US says Israel sent drones ABC quoted officials as saying: News and the New York Times, citing reports from Israel. However, neither Iran nor Israel confirmed the attack.
Isfahan is a strategic city that is home to the Natanz nuclear power plant and an important Iranian air base. Iranian state media said the drone strike did not affect the nuclear plant or Iran in any way. The International Atomic Energy Agency has also declared that the nuclear power plant is safe. After the attack drones appeared in the sky, Iran activated its air defense systems at its air base, nuclear facility and other key areas. Air traffic is suspended in major cities. Imam Khomeini International Airport is closed. Emirates and flydubai flights to western Iran have been cancelled.

However, General Abdul Rahim Mousavi, the Commander of the Iranian Armed Forces, said that the sound of firing of aerial objects was detected in suspicious circumstances.
The price of oil went up
As a result of the news that Israel attacked Iran, the price of oil on the international market increased by more than three percent. This is based on the indication that there will be a disruption in the supply of oil from West Asia. Australia has warned that Israel may close its airport and that its citizens should return immediately.
At the same time, if it is confirmed that this is against Israel, the war that has been going on for six months in Gaza will grow between two countries and West Asia will become tighter. The April 1 attack on the diplomatic office in the Syrian capital of Damascus and the killing of a top military commander prompted Iran to launch a direct attack on Israeli soil last Saturday.
