Satellite images don’t appear to show extensive damage to Iran’s Isfahan air base allegedly targeted by IDF

Satellite images published by CNN do not appear to show any extensive damage to Iran’s Isfahan air base, which was allegedly targeted last night by Israel.

  • The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite images were taken around 10:18 a.m. local time — five hours after the strike.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says drones that sources say Israel fired at the city of Isfahan on Friday caused no damage or casualties, in comments made to the envoys of Muslim nations in New York and cited by Iranian media.

  • “The Zionist regime’s media supporters, in a desperate effort, tried to make victory out of their defeat, while the downed mini-drones have not caused any damage or casualties,” Amirabdollahian is quoted as saying.

ABC News reported moments ago that the attack included missiles as well.

Tehran has indicated it has no plans for retaliation. Israel has made no public comment on the incident.

Israeli fighter jets launched three missiles at an air defense radar site near Isfahan in the overnight strike in Iran, ABC News reports, citing a US official.

The radar site was part of the protection of Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility, the report says.

The official says that the missiles were fired from outside of Iran. This may correlate with shrapnel found in Iraq this morning, thought to be part of a two-stage standoff munition, although this remains unconfirmed.

  • According to the report, the strike was “very limited.”

It says that according to an initial assessment, the strike took out the radar site, but the assessment has not yet been completed.

Iran had claimed earlier that three drones were involved in the attack on Isfahan. State TV said that the small aircraft were destroyed by air defenses, and it made no mention of any missiles or damage in the attack.
