There are several news outlets (like the Wall Street Journal U.S. Launched Cyberattacks on Iran, today) and the stories are all much the same. The U.S. is said to have attacked Iran's military in retaliation for shooting down a drone.
Vice President Pence said "We never comment on covert operations." That is a statement that comments about it even though his intent may have been to not comment on it. If that is confusing, it is always best to say "no comment" or the old standby "we cannot confirm or deny the existence of any such event" which has been used forever. Otherwise, other governments know it was a covert operation and can guess who might have done it.
People in government talk too much.
