Iran says it has no plans for 'immediate' retaliation against Israel

Iran seems to be downplaying Israel's apparent strike over the cities of Isfahan and Tabriz on Friday. An Iranian senior official has revealed that Tehran has no plan to hit back immediately against Israel, report says. Initial reports have claimed the drones were launched by Israel in retaliation to 300 Iranian drones and missiles launched towards Jerusalem last week. Israel's government and military are declining to confirm or deny if they carried out the strike. Questions remain as to whether Tel Aviv's strike was a pre-cursor to something more sinister in the coming days or weeks. Analysts said the crisis has been somewhat de-escalated but the situation still remains volatile.
