Israel-Iran War News Early on Friday, the Israeli military launched an attack on Iran, as confirmed by two Israeli and three Iranian officials. This action appeared to be Israel's first military retaliation to Iran's recent attack, although its scale seemed limited at the outset.
According to Iranian officials, the strike targeted a military air base near the city of Isfahan in central Iran. Both Israeli and Iranian responses were restrained initially, suggesting that both countries might be trying to reduce the intensity of their conflict. Israel-Iran war News World leaders, who have been urging restraint from both Israel and Iran for nearly a week to prevent a wider regional conflict, renewed their calls for de-escalation on Friday.
Iraq's joint military command reported that one person was killed and eight others were injured in an explosion at a base belonging to the Iranian-backed armed group, Harakat al Nujaba, in Babylon Province early on Saturday.
The statement from Iraq's military was cautious and did not
directly blame the explosion on an air strike involving a missile or drone. The
statement read, "The Air Defense Command has confirmed that there were no
drones or fighter jets in the airspace of Babylon Province before or during the
explosion."
