The Pentagon’s message to Iran is clear: the United States does not seek a regional conflict but is taking action to counter Iran’s support for proxy attacks against U.S. forces and commercial vessels in the Middle East.
Deputy Defense Press Secretary Sabrina Singh emphasized that the U.S. has repeatedly called on Iran to stop its support for these groups and is backing up its words with actions, including recent strikes against the Houthis, who are being supplied weapons by Iran.
“So we are we are being very public with our message to Iran, and we want these — we certainly want these attacks to stop, not only on our forces — on our forces in Iraq and Syria, but our forces in the Red Sea and commercial shipping,” she added.
