Israeli strike on Iran ‘limited’ in scope, not targeting nuclear facilities — reports
Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
Israel told the US that it is not targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, CNN reports, citing a senior US official.
There are several sites affiliated with Iran’s nuclear program in and around Isfahan.
CNN also quotes a US official saying the explosions in Iran are Israel’s response to Iranian attacks over the weekend. The official adds that the Israeli strikes are meant to be “limited” and would target Iranian military sites, while avoiding civilian and nuclear targets.
Fox News similarly cites “a well-placed military source” describing the strike as “limited.”
