Explosions were heard near an Iranian military base, and multiple reports, citing US officials, say that Israel struck Iran.

CNN, citing the semi-official FARS news outlet, reported the explosions were heard in the city of Ghahjaworstan, which is located near Isfahan, Iran. The Iranian news outlet said that “the city of Ghahjaworstan is located near Isfahan Airport and the eighth hunting base of the Army Air Force.”

The strike was mounted by the Israeli military, The New York Times reported, citing two Israeli defense officials it had spoken to.

Though there is still a lack of clarity surrounding the reported explosions, multiple reports from ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and NPR, citing US officials, say Israel struck Iran. Tasnim, a news outlet affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said there are no indications of a foreign attack.

The American official who spoke to CNN said the target struck was non-nuclear.
