The White House sees no signs of a deepening engagement by Iran in the Israel-Hamas war, a senior official says.

Asked whether US authorities have noticed that Iran was engaging in the conflict in new ways, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on CNN, “Outside of the rhetoric… no, we haven’t.”
