The United States has been urging other countries through diplomatic channels to tell Iran that escalation in the Middle East is not in their interest, a State Department spokesperson said on Monday, at what Secretary of State Antony Blinken called a “critical moment” for the region.
“All parties must take steps to ease tensions. Escalation is not in anyone’s interests. It will only lead to more conflict, more violence, more insecurity.” U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were briefed by their national security team on the situation in the Middle East, including threats posed by Iran and its proxies to Israel and U.S. servicemembers, the White House said. They were also briefed about an attack on Iraq’s al Asad airbase on Monday and discussed the U.S. response.
Biden and Harris were also updated on U.S. efforts to support Israel militarily if it is attacked and diplomatic efforts to “de-escalate regional tension” and reach a ceasefire and hostage-release deal in Gaza. Miller, speaking at a press briefing, did not say definitively whether or not Washington’s messages have been disseminated to Iran or through which channel.
