A spokesman for the United States Department of Defense said he could not comment on possible aggression by the Zionist regime against Iran. However, he believes that Washington is not seeking war with the Islamic Republic.
According to an IRNA report, Wednesday (8/10) morning, during a press conference at the Pentagon, Sabrina Singh said the United States continues to consult with the Zionist regime about their response to Iran’s missile operations, without explaining in detail Tel Aviv’s plans.
American and Israeli officials are still communicating and consulting to determine Israel‘s response. He added that he was reluctant to speculate on this matter.

However, Singh reiterated his country’s support for the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza and Lebanon. “The United States supports Israel’s right to defend itself from threats,” he said.
Since Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched the Wadeh Sadeq II or True Promise II missile operation against Zionist regime targets in Palestine, US officials including President Joe Biden have delivered contradictory statements.
The Iranian operation was carried out with the approval of the Supreme National Security Council to avenge the crimes of the Zionist regime in Palestine and Lebanon, such as the assassination of resistance group commanders and Iranian generals.
The Zionist regime was shocked and frightened by the dominance of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s intelligence and military operations and threatened Iran with retaliatory attacks.
Iran has repeatedly emphasized that it does not seek war. But he warned that if Israel makes another mistake and attacks Iran or Iran’s interests in the region, Iran will give a harsher response. (Ant/Z-2)

Tensions Escalate as Iranian Missiles Fly Over Iraq, Raising Eyebrows Over Air France Flight
In a series of developments that have sent shockwaves around the globe, Iranian missiles have been reported to have flown over Iraq, with an Air France flight, AF662, narrowly escaping harm’s way. According to reports, the flight was flying over Iraq when the Iranian attack began at around 4:45 p.m. UTC (11:45 a.m. ET) [[1]][[2]]. The aircraft left Iraqi airspace shortly before the missiles struck, raising questions about why the flight was allowed to fly over the region in the first place.
The incident has sparked an investigation by Air France, which is seeking to understand why the flight was not re-routed despite the escalating tensions in the region. [[1]][[2]]. The airline has promised to get to the bottom of the issue and take necessary measures to ensure the safety of its passengers.
The Iranian missile attack comes on the heels of a previous attack on Israel, and the country is now bracing for a response from its neighbor. In fact, Iran briefly grounded all flights on Sunday as a precautionary measure, highlighting the precarious nature of the situation [[3]].
As the world watches with bated breath, it is clear that the conflict between Iran and Israel has reached a boiling point. The US Department of Defense has stated that it is not seeking war with Iran, but the situation remains volatile.
In light of these developments, it is imperative that airlines take extra precautions to ensure the safety of their passengers. The Air France incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks involved in flying over conflict zones, and it is crucial that airlines take a proactive approach to mitigating these risks.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the world is holding its breath, waiting to see how events will transpire. We can only hope that diplomacy and restraint will prevail, and that a peaceful resolution can be reached before it’s too late.
