'Too early’ to know if Iran involved: Senior WH official
A senior White House official told reporters Saturday evening that it is "too early" to know what involvement, if any, Iran had in the attacks in Israel.
"It's too early to say whether the state of Iran was directly involved or planning, supporting," the senior administration official said. "We are going to be looking at that very closely."
"That said, there's no doubt Hamas is funded, equipped, armed by Iran and others," the official added.

Several Israeli officials, including President Isaac Herzog, have claimed that Iran helped coordinate the attacks.
The White House official said President Joe Biden and the administration have been in contact with Palestinian and Israeli officials throughout the day.
"We are in deep talks with the Israelis about some of their particular needs," the official said.
