A regional intelligence source with knowledge of Iran's potential reaction to Friday's strike, which was carried out by Israel according to a US official, stated that direct state-to-state strikes between the two enemies were deemed to be 'over.'
The source, who was not authorized to speak publicly, shared insights on the condition of anonymity about two and a half hours after the initial reports of the attacks surfaced.
According to the source, Iran was not anticipated to retaliate to the strikes, although no specific reason was provided for this decision.
Iranian government officials have downplayed the impact of Friday's attack, while the Israeli military has refrained from making any official comments. Iran has also not disclosed the source of the attack.
