Pentagon Says Message to Iran Is ‘We Don’t Seek a Regional Conflict’
Breitbart ^ | 01/18/2024 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 01/18/2024 5:53:48 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The Pentagon said Thursday that its message to Iran — who is funding proxy attacks against U.S. forces and military and commercial ships in the Middle East — is that the United States does not seek a regional conflict.

Asked by a reporter at a press briefing what the Pentagon’s message to Iran is, Deputy Defense Press Secretary Sabrina Singh responded:

I think our message has been very clear from the beginning. We know Iran funds, supports, equips, trains these groups, the very groups that you just listed out in places throughout — whether it be Iraq and Syria, in Lebanon, in Yemen, we know Iran’s hand is behind all of these groups. And so our message has been very clear. We don’t seek a regional conflict. We don’t want to see a regional conflict, and we certainly don’t want what’s happening in Gaza to spill out into a larger regional or wider-scale war.

Dear Pentagon,

It’s not what YOU want or don’t want. It’s what we want.

Sincerely,

Iran

Iran is seeking a wider war with the US.

They won’t stop because of some weak words from our feckless leaders.

You will have a regional conflict, regardless of whether or not you seek it.

Biden sure does know how to spend money and execute military resources...

It’s not just the Pentagon saying this. It is the State Department executing Obama’s policies.

Iran doesn’t give a $hit what you want or don’t want. Now go fix your mascara.
