The US has said that the latest attack on Iran by Israel should be the end of such exchanges between the two nations.
US said it did not participate in the strikes across Iran.
The US, however, said it worked with the Israeli government to encourage a low-risk attack with no civilian harm.
A senior US administration official said this late on Friday, adding that it appears that is what was achieved.
The official described the strikes as “extensive”, “precise” and against military targets across Iran.
“The effect was a proportionate self-defence response. The effect is to deter future attacks and to degrade Iran’s abilities to launch future attacks,” he said, according to Reuters.
The officials stressed that the US considered the operation to be an “end to the exchange of fire between Israel and Iran”.
“This should be the end of the direct military exchange between Israel and Iran – we had a direct exchange in April and that was closed off and now we’ve had this direct exchange again.”
