There is no evidence of a missile attack on the country, according to state media. The Iranian government denied reports that the Security Council had met for an emergency meeting.
Several small flying objects were shot at in the sky over the Iranian province of Isfahan. The reason for the explosion on Friday night near the metropolis of Isfahan was still unknown. Operations have been suspended at several airports in several provinces of the country as a result of the incident. The US broadcaster quoted a US government representative that Israeli missiles had hit an - initially unspecified - target in Iran. The news ticker has been updated to show that there was an explosion in Iran and that the Iranian government has emphasized that it did not want any further escalation in the situation. 25 trucks brought a total of 404 tons of food to the north of the Gaza Strip. According to the WFP, there is enough food for around 80,000 people. Iran has assured the USA that it does not want to further aggravate the situation in the Mideast. EU Foreign Affairs Representative Josep Borrell has warned of a war in the Mideast. Israel's government had called for a "diplomatic offensive" by its allies against Iran. A counterattack by Israel is currently being planned. The U.S. and Great Britain have imposed new sanctions against Iran after Tehran's attack on Israel. The US media reports this unanimously. The UN Security Council is meeting in New York to discuss the Iranian attack. The meeting is expected to last until April 21st, when it will be followed by a meeting of the G-7 foreign ministers. The G-8 is also expected to meet on April 22nd, where it will discuss the Iran-Gaza conflict.
