Al-jazeera Media Network report that US President Donald Trump says Washington “had nothing to do” with Israel’s attacks on Iran and warns Tehran against attacking the US “in any way, shape or form”.
Report say an emergency meeting was held in Pentagon were an Israel request was discuss and rejected for now.

Meanwhile, the death toll from Iran’s overnight attacks on Israel has risen to 10, with more than 200 wounded, according to Israeli authorities and some three people remain missing.
Israel says Iran fired some 80 missiles in the assault, which also caused damage at the Bazan oil refinery in Haifa.
In the same vein, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran is acting in “self-defence” and will de-escalate as soon as Israel stops its strikes.
This comes as Israel continues its attacks on Iran, hitting a defence facility in Isfahan and an electronics factory in Shiraz, and issues new threats to Iranian citizens, telling them to leave areas around weapons production factories and their support institutions”.

The accused were detained in Alborz province while they were preparing explosives and electronic devices, the semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported.
