Iran's foreign minister on Friday refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country and described the weapons that were used as more like children's toys.
"What happened last night was not a strike," the foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, said in an interview with NBC News' Tom Llamas. "They were more like toys that our children play with – not drones."
Amirabdollahian, who spoke to NBC News in New York where he was attending a U.N. Security Council session, said Iran was not planning to respond unless Israel launches a significant attack.
"As long as there is no new adventurism by Israel against our interests, then we are not going to have any new reactions," he said.

"I'm not owned!!!" Iran insists, as F35s freely roam deep into their airspace
Diplomatically ignoring something to prevent a regional war isn't exactly someone deep in a world of cope.
They know Israel attacked them, and they are being the "better man" diplomatically by playing at ignoring it.
The "like toys" comment is childish and does reek of ownage though.
It makes geopolitical sense to me. Don't respond and take a dig at the same time. If Israel tries another, it will look even worse on them.
We should all be glad Israel went with such a small strike and not retaliated against Iran in equal force.
They literally flew 3 super small drones around some air bases and got their cheeks clapped, there literally wasn't even an attack
Your submarine-convertible F35 Wünderwaffen also didn't play any roles here
Launching hundreds of drones and missiles at civilian targets is not "being the better man".
