It appears to have been drone strikes in Isfahan (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/israel-iran-drone-strike-munitions-facility-b2271590.html).
Iranian officials said that unmanned aerial vehicles struck a munitions facility in the central Iranian city of Isfahan overnight, a result of what US officials on Sunday said was an Israeli operation, according to the Wall Street Journal. (https://www.wsj.com/articles/israel-strikes-iran-amid-new-international-push-to-contain-tehran-11675004979) Tehran (https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/tehran) had not initially placed blame for the attack, and claimed that only minor damage was done to the rooftop of the facility. The Iranian defence ministry further claimed that several drones had been shot down by Iranian ground-to-air defences. It was unclear, based on multiple reports, if any drones survived the operation.
Israeli officials also did not immediately claim credit for the operation, though the Biden administration likely revealed their involvement with tacit support.
It wasn’t clear exactly what the attack’s intended goal was, but The Wall Street Journal reported that the site of the battle was directly next to a site designated for the Iran (https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/iran) Space Research Center, which plays a role in Tehran’s ballistic missiles program. Should be an interesting few weeks in the Middle East after this. I doubt Iran lets this one slide.
