An Iranian official has said Iran has prepared a comprehensive response to any US attacks, and that it includes vital US and Israeli infrastructure.
While United States President Donald Trump has told reporters on Friday that the US will be hitting Iran “hard”, there are reports that the strikes may be called off.
A Pentagon spokesperson refused to comment on whether attacks would happen.
Israeli settler raids and attacks, often under Israeli police protection, continue.
Israeli settlers shot and injured a 10-year-old Palestinian child in al-Mughayyir, and Israeli forces shot and injured a Palestinian teen in a raid on Beit Fajjar.
Trump said there is an “understanding” with Israel when it comes to the Hamas disarmament plan and said that they have been “very good about it”.
