Israel was behind the drone attack, The Wall Street Journal cited unnamed US officials and people familiar with the strike as saying. No response was immediately available from Israeli authorities.
One US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told our press associates (Reuters) that it did appear Israel was involved. Other American officials declined to comment beyond saying the US played no role, which according to Tehran is not true. Iranian regime believes the United States help Israel to coordinate the attack.
Meanwhile in Ukraine, which accuses Iran of supplying hundreds of drones to Russia to attack targets in Ukrainian cities, a senior aide to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy linked the incident directly to the war there.
