Israel is not involved in the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Reuters reported on Monday, citing an Israeli official.
"It wasn't us," the official was quoted as saying.
This spring, tensions between Iran and Israel in the Middle East escalated following a strike by Tel Aviv on the Iranian Embassy in Syria, destroying the diplomatic facility and killing seven members of the elite Revolutionary Guards. In turn, Iran unleashed retaliatory strikes on Israel, highlighting its ability to penetrate its air defenses.
Russia expressed concern that the Iran-Israel feud may escalate to a major war and urged both sides to exercise restraint.
