NEW -- reports of near-simultaneous airstrikes on #Iran targets in #Isfahan (home to nuclear facilities), as well as targeting air bases in #Daraa & #Suwayda in southern #Syria (home to radar & air defense sites).

Additional reports of explosions / possible airstrikes in #Baghdad & #Babil province in #Iraq.

The strikes in S. #Syria appear confirmed -- hitting 3+ #Assad regime military & air defense bases known to house #IRGC personnel (around Izraa, al-Thaala AB, Qarfa & Namir.

Reporting from #Isfahan is -- for now -- limited only to audible explosions. I've not seen any verifiable visuals, yet.

Iraq is much the same, but it's in #Syria that reports appear most solid -- with video, audio & local reporting.
