The United States has informed Iran that it was not involved in or had prior knowledge of the strike on an Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria. This communication comes amidst growing concerns about the potential escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas into a broader regional crisis. Iran has vowed to retaliate following a strike that it attributed to Israel, resulting in the deaths of two top commanders and five others at its consulate in Syria.
A spokesperson from the National Security Council stated that the US had no role in the strike and was unaware of it beforehand. The US has directly conveyed this message to Iran. The State Department is currently gathering more information about the incident and has expressed apprehensions about any further escalation in the region.
