“Explosions echoed over an Iranian city on Friday in what sources described as an Israeli attack, but Tehran played down the incident and indicated it had no plans for retaliation – a response that appeared gauged towards averting region-wide war,” Reuters reports. “The limited scale of the attack and Iran’s muted response both appeared to signal a successful effort by diplomats who have been working round the clock to avert all-out war since an Iranian drone and missile attack on Israel last Saturday.” The BBC reports that Iranian state TV featured an analyst who downplayed Israel’s involvement, instead blaming “infiltrators from inside Iran” for the drone attack.
