An Iranian official says that Washington had warned Tehran not to attack US facilities after Iran had told it not to fall into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “trap.”

“In a written message, the Islamic Republic of Iran warns US leadership not to get dragged in Netanyahu’s trap for US: Stay away so you won’t get hurt. In response US asked Iran not to target American facilities,” Iranian presidential aide Mohammad Jamshidi tweets.

There was no immediate US comment on his remarks.
