Aerial attacks between Israel and Iran continued overnight into Monday, marking a fourth day of strikes following Israel's Friday attack. That surprise strike hit the heart of Iran's nuclear program, killing several nuclear scientists as well as high-ranking military leaders, according to Israeli officials.

The U.S. did not provide any military assistance or have any involvement in Israel's Friday strike, a U.S. official told ABC News. President Donald Trump told ABC News on Sunday, "It's possible we could get involved."

Iran doesn't believe US was not involved in strikes: Foreign minister

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told a meeting of ambassadors in Tehran on Sunday that Israel's ongoing attacks on the country could not have happened "without the agreement and support of the United States."

"We have received messages from the U.S. through various channels over the past two days stating that the U.S. had no involvement and will have no involvement in this attack," he said during the meeting, which was broadcast by state media. "As I said, we don't believe the U.S.'s claim."

Araghchi also called on the international community to condemn Israel's attacks on nuclear facilities.

"This is perhaps the last red line of international law that the Israeli regime has crossed, and if the international community is indifferent to these red lines, it will certainly have consequences for all other countries," he said.

Araghchi said he had called for a meeting on Monday with the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency over attacks on the Natanz nuclear facilities.

Of Iran's own retaliatory strikes on Israel, the foreign minister said the attacks were "legitimate self-defense." He added, "If the aggression stops, naturally our reactions will also stop." Araghchi confirmed that Iran struck "economic" targets in Israel on Saturday night.

Araghchi also said Israel is responsible for the breakdown in nuclear negotiations with the U.S., its attack having scuppered planned talks in Oman on Sunday.

"It is perfectly clear that the Israeli regime does not want any agreement on the nuclear issue; it does not want negotiations; it does not want diplomacy; and the attack on Iran amid nuclear negotiations demonstrates the Israeli regime's opposition to any negotiations," he said.
