Tonight, Israel launched a unilateral strike against Iran. The United States was not involved in these actions, and the primary concern remains the safety of American forces stationed in the region.
Israel communicated to U.S. officials that they deemed this military action essential for their self-defense. In response, President Trump and his administration have taken measures to ensure the protection of U.S. forces while maintaining communication with regional allies.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized, "Let me be clear: Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel."
