Washington:
The White House on Monday accused Iran of “actively facilitating” attacks on US bases in the Middle East, as it expressed concern about the possibility of escalation of the war between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza.
“Iran continues to support Hamas and Hezbollah, and we know that Iran is closely monitoring these events and in some cases actively facilitating these attacks and encouraging others who may seek to exploit the conflict for their own good or that of Iran.” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters at the White House.
“We know Iran’s goal is to maintain some level of denial here, but we will not allow them to do that,” John Kirby added.
