SUBSCRIBER+ EXCLUSIVE REPORTING — For almost every week, the Center East and far of the world had been on a knife’s edge, ready for a promised Israeli retaliation to the April 13 assaults carried out by Iran. When the response got here early Friday, within the type of drone strikes close to the Iranian cities of Isfahan and Tabriz, there was a collective sigh of aid in Washington, the capitals of Europe and within the Center East as properly.
The Israelis hit a navy air base close to the town of Isfahan, in central Iran, and Iranian officers mentioned one other group of drones had been shot down within the Tabriz area, some 500 miles north of Isfahan. However Iran reported no Israeli warplanes in its airspace, no heavy bombings, and solely minimal injury. Maybe as essential, there have been no inflammatory statements from both aspect. For the second at the very least, it appeared the much-feared escalation and wider struggle had been prevented.
