Additional sources as they come in...


NYT, citing two Israeli and three Iranian officials, reports that Israel hit a military base near the western city of Isfahan.

— Numerous outlets report that both U.S. and Iranian officials said that no nuclear-related facilities were targeted. The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed as much this morning.

— Iranian media seems to be minimizing the attack. The BBC reports that Iranian state TV featured an analyst who downplayed Israel’s involvement entirely, instead blaming “infiltrators from inside Iran” for the drone attack. After briefly suspending air traffic in several cities, authorities announced flights had returned to operating normally.

Reuters quotes an Iranian official this morning saying there are no plans for retaliation against Israel: “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.”
— U.S. officials were also spreading word that the Israelis gave them a heads-up about the attack but that the U.S. did not green-light it.
