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. We have not received any external attack, and the discussion leans more towards infiltration than attack."

Google Pay Is Shutting Down , in the US.
Despite being all but replaced by Google Wallet
in 2022, Google Pay has continued to operate
in several countries, Engadget reports. .
But on Feb. 22, Google announced
that Pay will shut down in the U.S.
The payment app will be
discontinued on June 4.
It will continue to be
operational in Singapore
and India because of
"unique needs in
those countries," Google said.
Google Pay balances can still be transferred
to a bank account after June 4 in the U.S. via the Google Pay website, Engadget reports. .
Google Wallet currently has five times
the users as Google Pay and is used in
180 countries, the tech giant said.
That is likely due to the fact that the
app doesn't just handle payments.
It also stores IDs, transport passes,
virtual car keys and more, Engadget reports. .
Google's payment system has gone
through many changes over the years, .
but the latest decision is intended to
simplify the company's payment apps
under the Google Wallet umbrella
