ALWAGHT- Following the interception of drones by Iran's air defense, a high-ranking American official condemned Tel Aviv's independent strike, remarking, "The loyalty of the President of the United States to Israel remains unquestioning."
According to Politico, a senior American official responded to the Zionist regime's assault following retaliatory strikes on Tehran for the targeting of the Iranian consulate in Damascus. The official stated, "The US urged Israel not to proceed with this action, and no endorsement came from the Pentagon, CIA, or other intelligence agencies for the Zionist regime's attack on Iran."
Furthermore, he remarked, "It's quite disheartening how Israel disregards our concerns, yet Biden's unwavering allegiance to Israel persists."
The American official, unnamed in Politico's report, underscored, "Israel is engaging in a perilous gamble, and it appears Biden is being drawn into the fray."
He warned, "There remains the potential for a triggering event to escalate tensions dramatically."
Politico also highlighted the potential for attacks on American military personnel in Iraq and Syria, as well as increased control over container ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, it mentioned the prospect of Hezbollah launching additional missiles into northern Israel and the Houthis targeting more vessels passing through the Red Sea.
The publication noted: The conflict in Gaza persists, with fewer airstrikes, yet the humanitarian crisis endures.
Certain Western media outlets indicated early Friday that Israeli military forces had conducted airstrikes on Iranian facilities.
According to sources familiar with the matter, ABC News reported that an Israeli fighter jet launched three missiles during the assault on Iran.
The network further stated: A radar installation belonging to the air defense system near Isfahan was targeted, with initial assessments suggesting its destruction.
Subsequent to the distribution of this information, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stated: Allegedly, drones dispatched by Israel into Isfahan on Friday resulted in no financial or human losses.
During a speech among delegates from Islamic nations in New York, Iran's Foreign Minister clarified: "Media outlets supportive of the Zionist regime have fruitlessly tried to spin this setback as a triumph, despite the fact that the small drones intercepted caused no harm."
Additionally, Tehran affirmed, "There is no intention of seeking vengeful retaliation," and the Israeli government has refrained from making any public statements regarding this incident.
