The US has announced that Israel is responsible for last nights strikes in Iran. Several locations were struck in Iran, including oil facilities and ammunition depots. The attacks were carried out by small and commercially available UAS drones and quadcopters. The launches all took place from within Iran itself.
Iran claims they were largely able to fend off the drones, though two did strike the roof of an Ammunition depot in Isfahan, resulting in fire and an explosion.

Satellite imagery of the building has shown largely minimal damage. Israel has yet to comment on the strikes, which are assuredly a step up in Netanyahu’s attempt at containing Iran.
