Iran says it will respond strongly to an Israeli airstrike that hit its nuclear program early Friday. A senior Iranian security official told Reuters the counterattack will be “harsh and decisive,” though exact plans are still being finalized at the top level.
Iran Sends Drones Toward Israel
Shortly after the airstrike, Iran launched drones toward Israel, a move that raises fears of a broader regional conflict. So far, Israel hasn’t confirmed details of the incident.
UN and US React
The United Nations atomic watchdog reported no signs of radiation leaks at Iran’s nuclear enrichment site following the attack. However, the strike did result in the death of a Revolutionary Guard commander, according to Iranian sources.
Meanwhile, the US government acknowledged it was aware of the Israeli strike before it happened, but insists it had no role in carrying it out. Washington also warned Iran not to target any American assets in its response.
What’s Next?
Officials on both sides have kept quiet about the next move, but with retaliation on the table and drones already in the air, many fear the situation could escalate quickly. The world is now watching how Iran follows through on its warning.
