Iran state media releasing footage from Isfahan to show that there is no smoke from strikes, however, the footage is facing the mountains to the south while the strike reportedly happened near the airport to the north

Iranian state media now denying everything regarding strikes and emergency meetings.

The limited strikes appears to have let Israel have its “win” for a response to last weekend and allow Iran to sweep it under the rug to avoid any further escalation
Considering Iranian officials and media aren’t immediately calling for strikes against Israel like they did with the Damascus strike, an immediate large scale response by Iran is unlikely.

However, Iran likes to play the long game with its proxy forces, so increased arms support to Hezbollah and the Houthis can be an option for sustained pressure against Israel

Same again with Iran media, releasing footage pointing the opposite direction the strikes were said to have taken place
Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin reporting that strikes were done by unmanned aircraft
Iran officials (unofficially) confirm to NYT that airbase outside of Isfahan was hit, unclear if it’s the HESA drone facility or 8th Tactical Airbase
I’ll consider this whole situation over and done with for now.

Iran will continue to deny anything happened and Israel may or may not officially claim responsibility. In the end, the limited strikes have not resulted in any immediate response.

Only thing left is to know what exactly was struck and what the damage was like, if any.

Will also try to find clarity in the reports of strikes in Iraq earlier.
Signing off, goodnight everyone
Booster section of what looks like an Israeli air-launched Sparrow ballistic missile recovered from Wasit Governorate, Iraq, showing that IAF F-15s likely took part in the strikes against Isfahan.

While there are discrepancies amongst official Iranian narratives, the over arching theme is that small drones were intercepted over the city and that there was no ground damage.

Waiting on satellite imagery to see if there is anything.
Nothing from Iranian officials or media about retaliation still.

🇺🇸 An unidentified male has set himself on fire outside of former President Trump’s ongoing criminal trial at the New York State Supreme Court in #NewYork City, #UnitedStates. Several people were protesting in a nearby park with media crews present when this…
The self-immolating man in New York is allegedly Max Azzarello, a self described "investigative researcher" who seemingly released a manifesto with his act, dropping a pamphlet containing it along with a QR code to a substack of the text under the pseudonym "M. Crosby": https://theponzipapers.substack.com/p/i-have-set-myself-on-fire-outside

"“My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan,” the nearly 2,700-word posting begins. It highlights grievances he holds with both U.S. political parties and their leaders, cryptocurrency systems, Peter Thiel, among other topics.

Moments before he doused himself in gasoline and set himself ablaze, Azzarello threw the stack of pamphlets into the air.

His LinkedIn profile picture features a picture with Bill Clinton, whom he sued last year in a conspiratorial theory case with more than 100 others, which was later thrown out. (https://dockets.justia.com/docket/new-york/nysdce/1:2023cv03197/597363)

A 2017 blog post by the nonprofit Strong Towns, since offline, features Max Azzarello and announces him as their new growth manager.

In his blurb, Azzarello calls his “childhood town” a “charming, friendly, eclectic community in Long Island, New York.”

The civic engagement-focused organization says Azzarello’s “passions” include “chess, creative writing, and Medieval Scandinavian poetry.”"– NY Post

"Police said that Mr Azzarello’s drivers license showed he was born in 1987 and was a native of St Augustine, Florida. A registered Democrat, he attended the University of North Carolina.

He is believed to have arrived in New York at some point between April 13 and April 19, family members who spoke to police said they were unaware that he was in the city.

Mr Azzarello was unknown to police prior to the incident and did not have a criminal history in New York, police said.

Following the incident Azzarello was described as being in a “very critical condition”, but alive" –The Independent
