UPDATE: Via ABC News – Iranian state television says nuclear facilities near Isfahan ‘fully safe’ after air defense batteries fired in area.
Now this — A Biden administration official blamed Israel for the attack. Why would the Biden regime do that?
CNN reported:
Israel has carried out a strike inside Iran, a US official tells CNN, in a move that threatens to push the region deeper into conflict.
The target is not nuclear, the official said.
Prior to the Israeli strike Friday (local time), the US expectation was that they would not target civilian or nuclear facilities, another senior US official told CNN.
CNN has previously reported that Israel told the US its response would be limited in scope. US intelligence had suggested Israel was weighing a narrow and limited strike inside Iran because they feel like they have to respond with a kinetic action of some kind given the unprecedented scale of the Iranian attack

Israel has conducted strikes on a target in Iran, defying President Joe Biden’s warnings over plunging the Middle East further into conflict.
An official told ABC News that strikes hit a site in Iran, however it is unclear what exact target was hit or the extent of the damage.
Officials say the city of Isfahan in central Iran was struck at 5am local time. The city hosts one of Iran’s nuclear facilities, although US military sources reportedly said the target was not believed to be nuclear.
Iranian news outlet FARS reported that the strikes were located ‘near Isfahan Airport and the eighth hunting base of the Army Air Force.’
Iranian state news reported the nation’s air defense systems have been activated, and were firing at an unknown object in Tabriz, around 500 miles north of Isfahan.
It comes in response to Iran launching a barrage of hundreds of drones and rockets at Israel on Saturday, which was largely thwarted by Israel and its international allies. Isfahan was one of several launch sites used in the attack.
Biden had warned Israel not to retaliate to Saturday’s strikes and urged them to ‘take the win’ of the foiled Iranian attack.
Israeli officials warned the Biden administration of its intent to strike before launching, but an official told CNN that the US did not ‘green light’ any Israeli response.
Several hours after reports of the Israeli strikes emerged, sirens reportedly sounded in northern Israel.

Fake.
I watched it live.
But if they didn't want a months long war with troops and lots of casualties, Israel could perform the service of setting back the illicit nuke program of the vicious Iranians. If not then soon US bases and Israel would be targets of nukes plus US mainland with illegals bringing in a few trucks on the southern border or ships docking on the Atlantic coast (NY?) with containers of nukes.
Getting rid of the nuke program would be a good thing.
That should be "US official credits Israel"
"Blames"?
How about "Credits"?
“Blames”? Not my government, sede vacante
Well there is a Fox News story saying something similar.
You watched what, Faux News? CNN? There is no video or photos of any struck sites in Iran. What is circulating is old footage.
Were any magic mullahs nearby. Do they glow in the dark?
Faux News is not a valid news source.
Last time Trump ran for reelection they launched a bio weapon on us....shut down society....wouldn’t let doctors prescribe a cheap effective cure....unleashed race riots....and after they stole the election they strong armed a weak stupid and cowardly population into injecting themselves with poison
This time around nothing short of WWIII will do
Maztov, Bibi, go getem!
Lovely. Wonder if we are in for a spike in oil prices?
F U Brandon! Bibi is an Ace
Oil companies will do it and pretend “we had no choice, you know the war and everything” was the cause even if it was just to gouge us for profits. As many times before.
US Official Blames Israel for the Attacks
The headline should be: US Official CREDITS Israel for the Attacks
