Read our privacy policy Nuclear facilities in Iran were left untouched, the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed on Friday after explosions were heard near a major air base in Isfahan. A handout image grab made available by the Iranian state TV, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, shows what the TV said was a live picture of the city of Isfahan early on Friday /AFP via ) Commercial planes began diverting their routes early Friday morning over western Iran without explanation as state media reported "explosions" had been heard over Isfahan. Isfahan, located around 350km south of capital Tehran, is considered to be a strategically important region and home to Iran’s several nuclear sites along with a major military air base. A state television reporter in Isfahan said: “Several small drones were flying in the sky over Isfahan, which were fired at.” Tehran appeared to have downplayed the attack, with an Iranian official telling Reuters that the explosions heard in Isfahan were a result of the activation of Iran’s air defence systems.
