Several Tweets accused Israel of carrying out the attack. A person posted an interview with the ex-commander of Israel's navy, Eliezer Marom, who was asked about the "right time" to attack Iran’s nuclear installations.
He replied: "In my understanding, I think Israel has to attack because the situation right now is that Iran is a threshold country - 100 percent."
Another commentator accused the U.S. and NATO of targeting Isfahan as some claimed that the frequent attacks on American military bases in Syria, which are usually blamed on the Islamic Republic, as a good reason for the U.S. to avenge by targeting military factories in Iran.
