The United States has denied involvement in the retaliatory attack on Iran by Israel.
On Friday, Israel launched an attack on Iran following Tehran’s recent retaliatory strike on Israel.
Iranian state media reported that its forces had destroyed drones, believed to be Israeli, near an army base in the central city of Isfahan.
The incident triggered air defense systems, leading to explosions in the area.
However, a senior US official informed CNN that Israel had informed the US of its intention to retaliate against Iran, but it was not sanctioned.
“We didn’t endorse the response,” the official said, according to CNN.
The US “didn’t green light” an Israeli response, another senior US official told CNN.
The White House or President Joe Biden has yet to make any official statement regarding the retaliatory bomb attack by Israel on Iran.
Last week, Biden had warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US will not take part in a counter-offensive against Iran.
Netanyahu and his government had favoured an attack following the drone and missile attack on Israel.
