Israeli missile strikes Iran

(BBC) An Israeli missile has struck Iran, two US officials have told the BBC’s US partner CBS News.

Iranian state media are citing unconfirmed reports of explosions in central province of Isfahan.

Flights have been suspended over several cities, state media say.

Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB has downplayed reports of an attack, saying Isfahan is “safe and sound”.

Iran has been on high alert after Israel said it would respond to Iranian missiles and drones fired at Israel on Saturday night.

More than 300 drones and missiles were fired at Israel by Iran during its unprecedented attack.

Tehran has maintained it was retaliation for a presumed Israeli air strike on its consulate in Syria on 1 April, in which 13 people were killed.
