US State Department: We don't want war with Iran

 We do not want war between the United States and Iran,” a regional representative of the US State Department told the Arabic news channel Sky News. US Army Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement Saturday morning that it was attacking positions of "Iran-backed groups" in Iraq in response to the killing of three US soldiers in an attack on the Tower 22 base on the Syrian-Jordanian border. and Syria. “This is the beginning of our response,” Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said. The President ordered additional measures to hold the IRGC and its affiliated militias accountable for attacks on America and coalition forces. Although the Pentagon said in a statement that it had carried out attacks on more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria, many in Congress and even the country's media called the attack weak. Iranian officials have denied any involvement in the attack on the US base in Jordan, and no US official has even confirmed the Islamic Republic's direct role in the attack. Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also said in an interview with Fox News that US “retaliatory attacks” in Syria and Iraq “will not succeed; Unless they convince Iran to stop attacking American soldiers anywhere in the world. Calling the attacks "a belated response from the Biden government," he said the White House "must demonstrate its commitment to showing Iran the real costs." Pompeo added that "this failure has escalated tensions and will not stop until the Biden administration restores deterrence against our allies."

 The American government, in continuation of its hostile policies against the Islamic Republic of Iran, has imposed sanctions on six individuals and five institutions associated with Iran. The U.S. Treasury Department said Friday it has imposed sanctions on five companies based in Iran and Hong Kong that actively supply materials and technology to ballistic missile and drone programs and also sell Iranian goods to Chinese businesses,  . The US Department of the Treasury also announced that it has imposed sanctions on 6 officials from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Cyber ​​Electronics Command due to malicious cyber activities against critical infrastructure in the US and other regions. Over the past four decades, the United States has pursued harsh unilateral policies and actions against the Islamic Republic of Iran in a variety of ways, including imposing sweeping sanctions, military threats, launching political and diplomatic campaigns, and psychological warfare. Despite the ineffectiveness of America's unilateral policies and actions against Iran, Washington still insists on continuing this illegal approach against Tehran, which is contrary to the UN Charter.
