Iran fires at apparent Israeli attack drones near airbase and nuclear site
An apparent Israeli drone attack on Iran triggered air defences at a major airbase and a nuclear site early Friday morning near the central city of Isfahan, an assault coming in retaliation for Tehran’s unprecedented drone-and-missile assault on the country. In a post to social media, Canada’s Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly said she had been briefed and was monitoring the situation closely. She met today with her G7 counterparts in Italy, where Italy’s foreign minister said the United States had told the group that it had received “last minute” information from Israel about a drone action in Iran. In a communique following the three-day meeting, the ministers urged the parties “to prevent further escalation.”
