Iran reported “limited damage” from Israel's airstrikes early Saturday amid fears of retaliation and an escalation in the Middle East conflict.

Iranian officials told government broadcaster IRNA that the Israeli strikes targeted military bases in the Ilam, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces. Iran's air defense system successfully tracked and countered the Israeli “aggression,” they added.

Two Iranian soldiers were killed in the attack, IRNA reported.
