Tehran said its air defence system had shot down three drones overnight, triggering sirens.
It was initially unclear if the country came under attack, as no Iranian official directly acknowledged the possibility and Israel’s military did not respond to a request for comment.
Tensions have been high since the Saturday assault on Israel amid its war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip and its own strikes targeting Iran in Syria.
US officials declined to comment as of early Friday, but American broadcast networks quoting unnamed US officials said Israel carried out the attack.
The New York Times quoted anonymous Israeli officials claiming the assault, which came on Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s 85th birthday.
