"We told the Iranians: We won't be able to hold Israel back, and we won't be able to make sure that the next attack will be calibrated and targeted as the previous one," a U.S. official said, highlighting the precariousness of U.S.-Iran relations and signaling potential limits to U.S. restraint regarding Israel's actions.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that the administration had "been very clear that Iran should not respond" and emphasized ongoing U.S. support for Israel, reinforcing America's commitment to its ally in the Middle East.
Pentagon press secretary Gen. Pat Ryder indicated that the U.S. was deploying additional military assets in the region, affirming that "should Iran, its partners, or its proxies use this moment to target American personnel or interests in the region, the United States will take every measure necessary to defend our people."
