Ebhrahim Raisi, the Iranian president, said Israel was responsible for the explosions. He warned that the country would be forced to pay a heavy price.

CNN reported that the Israeli Defense Forces had “no comments” to make on this matter.

“It looks like a terrorist act, similar to what we have seen ISIS commit in the past.” As far as we know, this is our current assumption,” said a U.S. government official.
