US Denies Involvement In Israel Strike, Axios Reports

Members of the civil defence stand near a damaged site after what Syrian and Iranian media described as an Israeli air strike on Iran's consulate in the Syrian capital Damascus

The United States has informed Iran that it had no involvement in the recent strike on Israel, as reported by Axios. The strike, which targeted Iran's allies in Syria, has raised tensions in the region.

The US made it clear to Iran that it was not responsible for the attack, which resulted in casualties among Iranian-backed forces. This communication comes amidst escalating hostilities between Israel and Iran, with both sides engaging in tit-for-tat strikes.

Iran has been a key supporter of the Syrian government in its ongoing conflict with rebel groups. The recent strike on Syria is believed to have been carried out by Israel, although the Israeli government has not officially claimed responsibility.

The US's message to Iran underscores its efforts to avoid being dragged into the conflict between Israel and Iran. The Biden administration has been working to revive the Iran nuclear deal, which was abandoned by the previous administration.

Meanwhile, tensions remain high in the region, with Syria also facing internal strife and ongoing violence. The situation is further complicated by the involvement of various regional and international actors, each with their own interests and agendas.

As the situation continues to evolve, the US's assurance to Iran is seen as a crucial step in preventing further escalation and maintaining stability in the region.
