White House spokesperson John Kirby addressed the press today, providing updates on the current situation with Iran. Kirby emphasized that the United States is not seeking war or military conflict with Iran. He made it clear that the recent attack over the weekend was an escalation and requires a response, but the administration is not looking to escalate the situation further.
When asked about potential attacks inside Iran, Kirby stated that he would not get ahead of the President's decision-making and did not confirm whether striking inside Iran was on the table. However, he reiterated that the administration's assessment has been that Iran also does not want a direct war with the United States.
