In a recent briefing, a senior U.S. official clarified that the United States is not involved in Israel’s military operations targeting Iran. According to CNN, White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby stated that the U.S. is aware of Israel’s targeted strikes against Iranian military objectives, describing these actions as a response to prior missile attacks on Israel by Iran. Kirby also suggested that interested parties should seek more information directly from the Israeli government regarding its operations.
Sources have revealed that Israel informed the White House prior to carrying out these strikes. Meanwhile, President Biden is currently in Wilmington, Delaware, and his advisors have opted not to hold any related meetings at this time. However, a White House official noted that Biden has been briefed on the airstrikes and is closely monitoring the situation.
Earlier reports indicated that Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus announced on October 26 that the Israeli military is executing precise strikes against Iranian military targets in retaliation for Iran’s recent attacks on Israel.
