Israel then turned out to be behind the attacks, with small quantities of explosives being hidden in the devices. An American officer told the Associated Press at the time that Israel informed the US government after the attacks.

Leiter also placed a video message on X on Tuesday that was recorded outside the situation room in the Israeli embassy In Washington, DC, where he explained that Israel “was not in the case of regime change.”

“Today we continue to peel back the surface area of raking systems that spread over Iran. We have reached the point where one and a half and a half was demolished,” he said. “Today we hit the employment center in the middle of Tehran after we have informed the people in the neighborhood to leave. Hundreds of thousands of Teheranis have escaped Tehran to be outside the line of danger. And we have eliminated the temporary employment system. This is very important because this is the Mullahs and their information campaign, the propaganda campaign everywhere.”
“Iran, to encourage the audience and warn the public against any form of demonstrations against the government,” the ambassador continued. “Today, many questions were asked about the change in the regime. In many of the interviews I gave, that was the most important question. We are not concerned with a change in regime. We are interested in neutralizing the threat to our existence by a nuclear reinforcement program in Iran and a ballistic missile program.”
Iran maintained that her nuclear program is peaceful and that American intelligence services and the International Atomic Energy Agency have said that Iran was not pursuing the nuclear weapon.

“When the Iranian people get up and change their regime, that is their choice,” said Leiter. “And if we play a role in facilitating that event, then history will judge us favorably, I believe. It is also important to emphasize that our economy remains strong and resilient despite the war, and the stock market in Israel still rise for the second day in a row, continued to rise.”
“We work very hard to help with those who want to leave in Israel and those who want to go back to Israel, to their families, to their positions in society and the army,” he added. “And we hope to find solutions through our neighbors in the coming days. We will continue. We will continue. And we thank you for your support and prayers.”
