The United States told the Group of Seven foreign ministers that it received “last minute” information from Israel about a drone action in Iran, Italy’s foreign minister said

Good evening. Israel gave the US a “last minute” warning before escalating its conflict with Iran by launching an attack on a military base this morning, Italy has said. Elsewhere, French police have arrested a man who falsely claimed that he was wearing an explosives belt while inside the Iranian consulate in Paris on Friday morning.

Israel has reportedly launched an attack on Iran in the latest escalation between the two states. US officials said overnight that an Israeli missile struck the city of Isfahan in central Iran while Iranian media also reported explosions.
