Iran denies involvement in drone launch toward Netanyahu’s residence

Iran has denied involvement in Saturday’s drone launch toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in Caesaria, saying it was “carried out by Hezbollah in Lebanon.”

Netanyahu had earlier said that “agents of Iran” were behind the attack and would “pay a heavy price.”

But the Iranian permanent mission to the United Nations dismissed the claim, saying Iran had “already responded to the Israeli regime,” according to state news agency IRNA.

Responding to a question about the attack on Netanyahu’s residence, it said, “The action in question has been carried out by Hezbollah in Lebanon.”

Hezbollah, which is backed by Tehran, has not claimed responsibility.
