Both American and Israeli sources told Army Radio (Galei Tzahal) on Thursday evening that neither the United States nor Israel carried out strikes in Iran tonight. The denials come amid conflicting reports of explosions in southern Iran near the Strait of Hormuz, and follow earlier US denials reported by Axios.
In a significant development Thursday evening, both American and Israeli sources denied to Army Radio (Galei Tzahal) that either country carried out tonight's reported strikes in southern Iran. The denials come hours after Axios reported, citing a senior US official, that the US military was not conducting strikes in Iran. Earlier, Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported, citing unnamed sources, that an Arab country (or more than one) was behind the explosions. The claims remain unverified, and it is not yet clear whether an attack actually occurred or who was responsible. The Strait of Hormuz area has been the focus of multiple unconfirmed reports of explosions and attacks in foreign media.
