Israel has conducted strikes on a target in Iran, defying President Joe Biden’s warnings over plunging the Middle East further into conflict.

An official told ABC News that strikes hit a site in Iran, however it is unclear what exact target was hit or the extent of the damage.

Officials say the city of Isfahan in central Iran was struck at 5am local time. The city hosts one of Iran’s nuclear facilities, although US military sources reportedly said the target was not believed to be nuclear.

Iranian news outlet FARS reported that the strikes were located ‘near Isfahan Airport and the eighth hunting base of the Army Air Force.’

Iranian state news reported the nation’s air defense systems have been activated, and were firing at an unknown object in Tabriz, around 500 miles north of Isfahan.

It comes in response to Iran launching a barrage of hundreds of drones and rockets at Israel on Saturday, which was largely thwarted by Israel and its international allies. Isfahan was one of several launch sites used in the attack.

Biden had warned Israel not to retaliate to Saturday’s strikes and urged them to ‘take the win’ of the foiled Iranian attack.

Israeli officials warned the Biden administration of its intent to strike before launching, but an official told CNN that the US did not ‘green light’ any Israeli response.

Several hours after reports of the Israeli strikes emerged, sirens reportedly sounded in northern Israel.

the US expectation was that they would not target civilian or nuclear facilities,

But if they didn't want a months long war with troops and lots of casualties, Israel could perform the service of setting back the illicit nuke program of the vicious Iranians. If not then soon US bases and Israel would be targets of nukes plus US mainland with illegals bringing in a few trucks on the southern border or ships docking on the Atlantic coast (NY?) with containers of nukes.

Getting rid of the nuke program would be a good thing.

"US official blames Israel"

That should be "US official credits Israel"

You watched what, Faux News? CNN? There is no video or photos of any struck sites in Iran. What is circulating is old footage.

Last time Trump ran for reelection they launched a bio weapon on us....shut down society....wouldn’t let doctors prescribe a cheap effective cure....unleashed race riots....and after they stole the election they strong armed a weak stupid and cowardly population into injecting themselves with poison

This time around nothing short of WWIII will do

Oil companies will do it and pretend “we had no choice, you know the war and everything” was the cause even if it was just to gouge us for profits. As many times before.
