The official comment of the Israeli government is awaited.

“The way this attack unfolded opens up a way out on both sides for Israel to say that it did not let Saturday’s attack go unanswered, and that it has the ability to hit targets on Iranian soil, while Iran says that it only shot down some Israeli drones, with Tehran not showing that it is seeking escalation for what happened in the morning” commented Stavros Ioannidis.

Israel warned the US on Thursday that they were planning to attack Iran next day or within the next two days, Bloomberg reported, citing two US officials.

According to CNN, the Israelis have assured their US counterparts that Iran’s nuclear facilities will not be targeted.

Iran’s air defense systems were activated in several areas as a precaution against possible aerial threats, according to the latest report by state news agency IRNA.
