US official predicts Iran attack on Israel won’t be big enough to draw America into war
WASHINGTON — The United States expects an attack by Iran against Israel but one that would not be big enough to draw Washington into war, US official says.
The White House said earlier that Washington did not want conflict to spread in the Middle East and the US had told Iran it was not involved in an airstrike against a top Iranian military commander in Damascus.
The White House added that it warned Iran to not use that attack as a pretext to escalate further in the region.
