A senior administration official confirmed on Friday that the United States is not involved in the Israeli military's operations against Iran. The official stated that Israel is conducting targeted strikes against military targets in Iran as an act of self-defense and in response to Iran's ballistic missile attack on Israel on October 1st.
The White House National Security Council spokesperson, Sean Savett, emphasized that the U.S. government is aware of Israel's actions but is not directly participating in them. He directed inquiries about the operation to the Israeli government for further details.
Israel's military operations against Iran are seen as a response to the recent escalation of tensions between the two countries. The targeted strikes by Israel are aimed at military installations in Iran, following Iran's missile attack on Israel earlier this month.
The decision by the United States to refrain from involvement in the Israeli military's actions underscores the complex dynamics of the situation in the Middle East. The U.S. government's stance reflects a commitment to maintaining a delicate balance in the region while supporting Israel's right to self-defense.
As the situation continues to evolve, both Israel and Iran are closely monitoring developments and assessing the impact of the military operations. The international community is also observing the situation with concern, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Israel and Iran.
