Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdolahin said that there were no casualties or damage in the drone attack on the city of Isfahan.
"The media supporters of the Zionist regime desperately tried to make a victory out of their defeat, while the mini-drones did not cause any damage or casualties," Amirabdolahin said in New York, as reported by Reuters.
Tehran has indicated that it has no plans to retaliate. Israel has not made any public comment on the incident.

Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri says that "Israeli aggression against Iran" represents an "escalation of the conflict in the region", reports Reuters.
He called for the expansion of military operations against Israel, in response to the "genocidal war" in the Gaza Strip.
Because of the violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and in Jerusalem, the European Union today introduced sanctions including freezing assets and banning the issuance of visas for four Israeli settlers and two organizations of these extremists.
The grave violation of Palestinian human rights, the Council of the EU said, includes "torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment" and violations of the right to property and private and family life of Palestinians in the West Bank.
The EU's decision to punish violent settlers in the West Bank came two months after similar measures by the US and Great Britain.
In the West Bank, which has been under Israeli occupation since 1967, there has been a spike in violence since Israel's war against the Palestinian Hamas in the Gaza Strip began last October.

The airline "Lufthansa" announced that "as a precaution" - due to today's attack by Israel with drones on Iran, until five o'clock in the morning tomorrow, Saturday, it will not fly to Israel and Iraq, and its Austrian branch "Austrian Airlines" will not fly to Jordan either.

Israel launched a limited attack on Iran today, described as "symbolic", in retaliation for Iran's attack on Israel on Sunday.

Last weekend, Iran attacked Israel with drones and missiles in response to the deadly Israeli attack on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus on April 1.

G7 foreign ministers reiterate their opposition to the Israeli military operation in Rafah, and warn that it would have disastrous consequences for civilians, reports Reuters.
Blinken says that they cannot support a major military operation in Rafah, and that they believe that Israel's goals can be achieved without an offensive in Rafah.
He added that talks about Rafa at higher levels with Israel are continuing.
In the Israeli military offensive on Gaza since October 7, 34.012 Palestinians were killed and 76.833 wounded, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced, reports Reuters.
A meeting of G7 foreign ministers discussed the need for a cease-fire in Gaza, said Anthony Blinken, the US secretary of state, but Hamas "continues to move the target points", the Guardian reports.
"The only thing standing between the people of Gaza and a ceasefire is Hamas," Blinken said. "He rejected Israel's generous proposals. He seems more interested in a regional conflict than a ceasefire that would immediately improve the lives of the Palestinian people. He continues to move the goalposts."
The G7 is also urging "rapid implementation of Israel's humanitarian aid obligations" in Gaza, Blinken said.
"We've seen important steps in the last few weeks with more crossings opening, more help coming in, more help moving," Blinken said. "But we need to see lasting results and we need to see, in particular, distribution across Gaza."
Qatar has expressed regret over the failure of the UN Security Council to adopt a draft resolution on recognizing the Palestinian state through full membership in the United Nations, reports Reuters.
