Secretary of State Antony Blinken decline Friday to say whether U.S. was warned in advance about the Israeli overnight attack on Iran.
"I'm not going to speak to that except to say that the United States has not been involved in any offensive operations," Blinken said at a news conference during a gathering of G7 foreign ministers.
"What we're focused on, what the G7 is focused on, and again, it's reflected in our statement, and in our conversation, is our work to de-escalate tensions, to de-escalate from any potential conflicts," Blinken added.

he emphasized that “the United States has not been involved in any offensive operations.”
If you believe that, you believe the moon is made of cheese.
Israel needs to be very,cautious about what it tells the obiden admin, as Biden may very well have known about the attack 9n israel before it happened and said nothing. I wouldn’t put it past the admin to run to Iran with info if they learned that Israel had plans to attack iran- heck, 9ne of our own generals threatened betray the nation and betray Trump by telling China about any actions that Trump might take agaisnt them-
Comeon- everyone knows it is made up of gases!
Just shut your mouth. We’ve been giving them weapons and aid right along.
Blinken wants to hide under the bed, quick not to offend his Iranian masters and the Obama who must be obeyed.
I'd advise Israel NOT to warn Biden & company of any upcoming operation because there's too much risk of the info leaking to Iran.
No USAF in air refueling means no Israeli AF participation. The warmongers around here can’t stand the fact that potentially thousands or even millions of Israelis and Iranians aren’t dying for their entertainment. I suppose they’ll have to refocus on the thousand poor Ukes dying everyday for their pants bulging bloodlust satisfaction.
Just saying Joe Blow Biden did not have a voice in this attack in Iran. Trying to keep the votes for ole Joe Blow from the HAMAS America hating students and population in the Yankee states.
“I’m not going to speak to that except to say that the United States has not been involved in any offensive operations,” Blinken said
USA will only send ‘defensive’ weapons to Israel now.
Israel would be well-advised to not inform the current US government of any and all operational plans. The current US government is overrun with anti-Israeli drones.
So... not offense but defense?
...not that anyone would believe a word Blinken said.
Lol. We shot down, supposedly, most of the drones and missiles sent against them but have no input on response. Neither did USSR during the Cuban missile Crisis! Lol
Bagdad bob, American style.
Blinken is just another liar
This is like a real video game with the controllers held in Washington
-fJRoberts-
Blinken...from your big mouth to God’s ear... would that Israel would start doing some Offensive Operations instead of always reacting (or NOT reacting, which is even worse)
you never ever win any wars on the defensive (except maybe Russia in winter, and the costs of doing this are immense)
you should get a job you can handle, respectfully
Iran says US was told it would not be targeted
Tehran, before launching retaliatory strikes at Israeli targets last weekend, notified U.S. officials that American military bases and interests in the region would not be targeted unless Washington aided in Israeli attacks on Iranian interests, a top Iranian official said Thursday. White House national security spokesperson John Kirby has said the United States did exchange messages with Iran but has dismissed as "ridiculous" claims that U.S. officials were informed of Iran's timeframe or targets.
