The statement comes after Israel launched a missile strike on Iran late Thursday night, reportedly targeting a military site near the Iranian city of Isfahan. The strike was a response to Iran’s drone and missile attack on Israel last week.
Iranian officials claimed its air defense system intercepted three drones, according to CNN. No casualties have been reported.
Israeli officials notified the United States on Thursday that the country was planning to launch a retaliatory strike against Iran, Bloomberg reported.
