The United States has clarified its position following Israel's recent military action against Iran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement confirming that the U.S. was not involved in the strikes conducted by Israel.

Rubio emphasized, "Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region." He further explained that Israel had informed the U.S. about its belief that the action was necessary for self-defense.

In response to these developments, President Trump and his administration have taken measures to ensure the safety of American forces stationed in the area. The U.S. remains engaged with regional partners to monitor the situation closely.

Secretary Rubio also warned Iran against any retaliatory actions targeting U.S. interests or personnel, stating, "Let me be clear: Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel."
