• Background of tension over nuclear pact and arms for Russia
Drones have been used to attack a military plant in Iran, with Iranian news agencies reporting a loud blast and showing a flash of light at what was said to be an ammunition factory.
Emergency vehicles and fire trucks were shown at the plant in central Isfahan province. It comes amid tensions over Iran’s nuclear programme, as well as its supply of Shahed drones to Russia that are being used in the war against Ukraine.
