No plan for immediate retaliation against Israel, drones downed over Isfahan launched from Irans's territory

Iran has no plan for immediate retaliation against Israel, a senior Iranian official has told Reuters, hours after sources said Israel launched an attack on Iranian soil.

"The foreign source of the incident has not been confirmed. We have not received any external attack, and the discussion leans more towards infiltration than attack," the Iranian official said on condition of anonymity.

 Iranian media outlets reported that drones had been detected over the Isfahan Province at about 3:00 a.m. local time on Friday (11:30 p.m. GMT on Thursday). According to state television, air defenses downed three drones over the city of Isfahan. The Tasnim news agency, in turn, reported that no missiles were fired at Iran. Press TV said, citing sources, that Iranian cities had not been attacked by another country.

 The drones shot down by Iran's air defense systems over the city of Isfahan were launched from the country’s territory, a spokesman for Iran’s Supreme Council of Cyberspace said on his X page.

When asked whether "these drones were launched from abroad or inside the country," Hossein Dalirian said: "The range [of these drones] is very short, undoubtedly from inside the country."
