Israel launches its attack on Iran . A military air base near the city of Isfahan , central Iran, was hit. And according to local media , three drones were seen in the sky and then shot down .

The Iranian authorities have already specified that the nuclear sites near Isfahan are in "total safety" .

A limited attack , therefore, at least for the moment, and as a military source specified on American TV. The objective would have been a demonstration by Israel of its ability to strike inside the country.

And while airspace over Iran has already been reopened , with flights resuming from Tehran airport, the British maritime safety agency Ukmto has issued a 72-hour alert in the Persian Gulf . «Vessels transiting the Persian Gulf and the western area of the Indian Ocean may experience an increase in drone activity in the region - we read in the bulletin -. There are currently no indications of freighters in the area. Commanders report any suspicious activity, including drone activity, to the Ukmto. The safety notice is valid for 72 hours from its publication."

The attack comes, perhaps not surprisingly, on the birthday of Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei . And there are many messages that have already appeared on social media and which comment: "Happy birthday, Khamenei".

The Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has already specified to Rainews24, after hearing from the embassy in Tehran, how all Italians are safe in Iran .
