The network also reported that in January 2024, Katab Hizbullah believed that the US went on strike, killing three US military soldiers and injuring more than 30 in Tower 22, a small American outpost near the Syria-Jordan border.
The Islamic resistance in Iraq-an umbrella group, which includes Katib Hizbullah claimed responsibility for targeting several sites near the Jordan-Syria border, which was noted, CNN, located close to Tower 22, al-Rukban Camp.
Amidst these rising hazards and regional attacks, US President Donald Trump has said that he would allow two weeks to diplomatic efforts with Tiran to authorize military action against Iran.
Addressing a briefing at the White House, Press Secretary Karolin Lewit read a statement by President Trump, who accepted the ability of diplomatic dialogue despite the growing struggle in the Middle East.
“Based on the fact that there is enough opportunity to interact with Iran in the near future, I cannot be with Iran to go or not within the next two weeks,” Levit said quoting the President.
Levitt also reiterated the administration’s stand on Iran’s nuclear program. In response to a question about the shape of any possible deal with Iran, Levit said, “Uranium and … no promotion of Iran is able to acquire any nuclear weapons. The President is very clear about it.”
The comment increased after a week -long military attacks between Israel and Iran. Speaking on Wednesday, President Trump, on Wednesday, dismissed the suggestions that he had already approved a military plan and had repeated his priority for a diplomatic resolution.
“I’m not looking to fight. But if it is an option between fighting and placing nuclear weapons, then you have to do what you have to do,” Trump said.
The White House continues that while military options live on the table, diplomatic connectivity with Iran is still possible. (AI)
