White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said no current intelligence suggests Iran was directly linked to Hamas' attacks on Israel.
A senior White House official on Wednesday defended the Biden administration's response to Iran, while admitting Tehran's 'broad complicity' in Hamas' attack on Israel. John Kirby, the National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, also said there was no intelligence to date suggesting Iran was directly linked to Saturday's attack. 'Nobody has turned a blind eye to Iranian destabilizing behavior,' Kirby said.
' WHITE HOUSE SILENT ON IRAN NUKE DEAL AFTER CLAIMS TEHRAN HELPED PLAN ATTACKS ON ISRAEL 'Is it the position of the administration that at this stage Iran was not involved?' Heinrich asked. 'I guess my question is, how can we know this was in the planning for over a year and within a few short days say that Iran was not behind it?' 'Because that's what we think,' Kirby responded.
