Blinken Confirms US Not Part of Alleged Israeli Attack on Iran
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has affirmed that the United States did not participate in any offensive operations in Iran. This statement follows reports suggesting Israel conducted strikes in Iran, characterized by some as acts of retaliation. While Blinken did not address these claims directly, he emphasized the need for de-escalation in the region.
The context for Blinken's remarks was the G7 gathering in Italy, where the issue of security in the Middle East was presumably discussed among international leaders. The Secretary of State underscored the US commitment to Israel's security. Furthermore, Blinken called for the rapid implementation of Israel’s humanitarian assistance commitments and stressed the importance of achieving sustained results, signaling a focus on constructive steps forward rather than dwelling on the reported military actions.
