Iran army chief says no damage occurred Armen Nersessian BBC Persian In a recent interview with Iranian television, Major General Seyyed Abdulrahim Mousavi, commander-in-chief of the army, addressed the explosion in Isfahan. He attributed the sound of explosions to the anti-aircraft defence system engaging several suspicious objects, reassuring the public that no damage occurred. Iranian authorities have initiated an investigation into the matter and pledged to provide updates to the public in due course. Meanwhile, Kioumars Heydari, the commander of the army ground forces, issued a warning that any recurrence of suspicious flying objects would be swiftly addressed. Iran's airspace remains safeguarded by the Khatam al-Anbia defence base, overseen by the Joint Staff of the Army. This base plays a critical role in enhancing Iran's air defence capabilities through its integrated command and control network. Meanwhile, Kasra Naji, BBC Persian's correspondent in Tel Aviv, reports that the situation in Israel appears normal. Defence authorities have advised citizens to continue with their daily routines and Israel has not issued any official statement regarding the reported attack.

Stop making sense!

I've never watched 'Apprentice' but the particpants and those on 'Dragon's Den' have some bottle to take part.

I hope more countries call for restraint.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news Israel attack on Iran.

Countries around the globe have been calling on both Iran and Israel to show restraint after this latest strike, amid fears the conflict could escalate across the region. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak avoids commenting on reports of an Israeli attack on Iran, saying it "wouldn't be right for me to speculate until the facts become clearer”. He repeats calls for de-escalation: "Significant escalation is not in anyone's interest. What we want to see is calm heads prevail across the region." China also calls for de-escalation. Foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said "China opposes any actions that further escalate tensions and will continue to play a constructive role to de-escalate the situation." Egypt, a key player in the mediation efforts between Hamas and Israel, says that they are deeply concerned about an escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran. A foreign ministry statement warned of the consequences of expanding the conflict and instability in the region. Turkey also calls on all parties to refrain from steps that could lead to a wider conflict. A foreign ministry statement said it was becoming "increasingly obvious" that the tensions between Iran and Israel following the attack on 1 April risked "turning into a permanent conflict”. Germany pleads for restraint, with the government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit saying "De-escalation must be the advice of the hour, we must prevent a conflagration at all costs," adding that it goes to "all sides".

Would it make sense for the elected P.M. to choose as deputy his nearest rival. to keep him/her onside - I recall Ms Harris becoming Vice President to the President, she had been rather a threat.

Can you correct title please @SF

Yes, instead of playing extra time after 90 minutes any injury time then go straight to penalties, I heard this suggested on Talk Sport last night and have thought it a good idea for years, anyone else agree?
