Italian diplomat says Israel warned US about drone attack on Iran

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said that Israel warned the U.S. about a drone attack on Iran Friday morning apparently targeting an air base and a nuclear site in central Iran. 

Iranian air defense batteries were active after explosions were heard near the air base near the central city of Isfahan, the Associated Press reported (AP). 

Tajani said the U.S. told the Group of Seven foreign ministers it was informed “at the last minute” by Israel in advance of the drone attack.
