No one wants to see regional war in Middle East – Pentagon
The United States does not want to see a wider regional war in the Middle East, the Pentagon says.
“I’m not going to get into hypotheticals and speculate on what might happen other than to say no one wants to see a wider regional war,” Major General Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesperson tells reporters when asked about Israel’s move to approve operational plans for war.
