White House says Iran has not withdrawn from threat to attack Israel
WASHINGTON — The White House reiterates that all sides should attend Gaza ceasefire talks in Doha in order to get a deal implemented, urging Israel and Hamas to compromise and saying progress is still possible in the coming days.
White House national security spokesman John Kirby, in an interview on CNN, also says information shows Iran has not moved off its threat to attack Israel, including potentially through proxies. The US is watching the situation closely and is prepared, though “hopefully it doesn’t come to that,” he says.
