Israel decided not to officially recognize the blow to targets in the central part of Iran to avoid escalation - the sources of The Jerusalem Post

Report from Isfhan on Iranian television on the morning of April 19

Israel will not take responsibility for the blow to the Iranian province of Isfahan, inflicted on April 19. About this writes The Jerusalem Post with reference to sources in the Israeli special services and government. According to the interlocutors of the newspaper, “Israel took retaliatory measures because it was attacked”, but decided to refrain from official statements for strategic reasons.

According to Iran, an “explosion at the factory” occurred in Isfahan. According to JP sources, the Iranian authorities made such a statement because they want to avoid further escalation, and it is not clear why the Pentagon told the American media about Israeli involvement. The interlocutors of the newspaper noted that the Americans should have remained silent and allow Iran to keep their face, which would contribute to stabilization.

The Jerusalem Post claims that the objects of the Iranian Air Force in Isfahan were attacked by missiles released from aircraft.

The New York Times wrote earlier today with reference to two representatives of the Ministry of Defense of Israel and three Iranian officials, which was early in the morning the Israeli drone struck the objects of the Iranian Air Force in Isfahan. The Washington Post writes with reference to an unnamed Israeli official that the goal of the attack was to show Iran that Israel has the opportunity to strike targets in the depths of Iranian territory.

If Israel takes any further military operations against Iran, the answer will be “immediate and at the maximum level,” said CNN, the head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry Hossein Amir Abdolkhiyan.
