Report: Biden Administration Denies Involvement in Israeli Strike Against Iranian Generals

0:00

The Biden administration moved quickly to inform Iran that it had no involvement in an Israeli airstrike that resulted in the deaths of Iranian military personnel, as reported by Axios. Israel targeted a compound near the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria, killing two IRGC generals and five officers. The Biden administration directly communicated to Iran that it was not aware of or involved in the strike. This gesture is seen as rare, given the strained relationship between the U.S. and Iran, which is known for sponsoring terrorism in the region.

The airstrike occurred prior to a virtual meeting between Israeli officials and senior members of the Biden administration to discuss Israel’s military operations against Hamas. Iran has pledged to retaliate against Israel for the strikes, accusing them of violating international conventions. These events highlight the escalating tensions and the potential for broader conflict in the Middle East, following previous attacks by Iranian-backed groups in the region.

The NSC did not respond immediately to requests for comment on the situation. It is important to note that this information was provided by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent news service.
