The United States was not given advance notice by Iran regarding the specifics of its recent strikes against Israel, according to a statement made by a State Department spokesperson on Monday.
The spokesperson mentioned that while Iran had made public and private statements indicating their intention to take action, they did not provide any details regarding the extent or timing of the response.
During the past week, there were several discussions with foreign counterparts, but at no point were American officials informed about an impending attack or given any indication of the potential targets.
This lack of notification from Iran has raised concerns about the transparency and communication between the two nations, particularly in light of the escalating tensions in the region.
The State Department emphasized the importance of open dialogue and timely sharing of information to prevent misunderstandings and avoid unintended consequences that could further destabilize the situation.
