CNN analysis: The Middle East is in danger after the attack on Iran!

Israel has carried out an attack inside Iran, a US official told CNN , a move that threatens to further escalate the conflict in the Middle East.

Iran's air defense systems were activated in several locations after explosions were heard near the airport and a military base in Isfahan province, state media reported early Friday.

Israel has not claimed responsibility for the attack.

What Iranian reports say: Three explosions were heard near a military base housing warplanes northwest of Isfahan, Iran's semi-official FARS news agency reported. After the attack, Iranian media reported that all facilities around Isfahan are safe, including important nuclear facilities in the area. Iran's National Cyberspace Center spokesman Hossein Dalirian said air defenses shot down three drones and " there are no reports of a missile attack for now."

What was the objective? That remains unclear, but the US official told CNN that the target of the attack was not nuclear. According to FARS, a military radar was a possible target. Ghahjaworstan, where an explosion was heard, is located near Isfahan airport and the "eighth fighter base of the Army Air Force ," FARS reported.

How did we get here? Tensions remain high across the Middle East as Israel wages war in Gaza against the Palestinian militant group Hamas, an Iranian ally. Meanwhile, a decades-long shadow conflict between Israel and Iran burst into the open at the weekend when Iran launched an unprecedented attack on Israel that Tehran said was in retaliation for a suspected deadly Israeli airstrike on Iran's consulate in Syria.

What Israel says: The Israeli military said Friday they "do not have a comment at this time " when asked by CNN about reports of explosions in Iran. Israel's war cabinet has met periodically this week without announcing any final action following last weekend's Iranian attacks on Israel.

What the US says: Israel's allies, including the United States, have called for restraint from Israel in an effort to prevent a regional war. The US " did not green light " an Israeli response, another senior US official told CNN. Before Friday's attack, the U.S. expectation was that Israel would not target civilian or nuclear facilities, the second official said.

What happens next? This too remains unclear. Reports of the explosions came hours after Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told CNN that if Israel took any further military action against Iran, its response would be "immediate and at a maximum level . " He added: " If the Israeli regime commits one more grave mistake, our response will be decisive, final and regrettable."
