Explosions were reportedly heard over an Iranian city, with sources attributing them to an Israeli attack. However, Tehran has downplayed the incident, stating that it has no plans for retaliation. This response appears to be aimed at preventing a broader conflict in the region. An Iranian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, was quoted by the Times of Israel as saying, "The foreign source of the incident has not been confirmed.
