Israel Iran latest news: US calls for calm after officials say Israel hit Iran - BBC News | Israel Iran latest news: US calls for calm after officials say Israel hit Iran - BBC News |
(32 minutes later) | |
Jonathan Beale | |
Defence correspondent reporting from Lancaster House | |
Weapons experts believe | |
Israel may have used a new air-launched ballistic missile to carry out its | |
limited strikes on Iran - information that the BBC has not independently | |
verified at this time. | |
Unnamed US officials have | |
told US media that Israel fired three missiles from outside Iranian territory | |
at an air defence radar near Isfahan. | |
John Ridge, a US-based weapons | |
expert, suggested on X, formerly known as Twitter, that it could have been a | |
new air-launched ballistic missile - known as Rocks - produced by the | |
Israeli defence firm Rafael. | |
A British weapons expert also | |
believed the attacks had involved the use of an air-launched ballistic missile | |
by Israel for the first time. | |
The UK expert, who did not want to be named, has | |
told the BBC: “I think they are sending Iran a message.” | |
Iranian sources initially | |
said the attacks were carried out by drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles | |
(UAVs) and claim it was thwarted. | |
There has been no official confirmation | |
in Israel that they carried out the attack or what caused the explosions. | |
