“The measures we’re taking to prevent this are serious, systematic and ongoing,” White House security adviser Jake Sullivan told CBS
For a possible spread of the war in the Middle East, with the involvement of stronger forces, such as Hezbollah and possibly Iran, the US is preparing. According to White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on CBS, Washington sees an “increased risk” of an extension of the war to Middle Eastwhich, if it happens, can lead to uncontrollable situations.
“We are on high alert because we see increased threats against our forces across the region and an increased risk of this conflict spreading to other parts of the region. We’re doing everything in our power to prevent that,” Jake Sullivan said on the “Face the Nation” show.
Last week, the USA carried out airstrikes targeting two facilities linked to Iran-backed militias in eastern Syria following a series of drone and rocket attacks against US forces in the region.
Asked about US strikes on Iranian-backed groups in the region, Sullivan said: “If the attacks continue, we will respond and I think the Iranians get our message.”
“Of course, we are taking every measure necessary to protect our forces, increase our vigilance and cooperate with other countries in the region to try to prevent this conflict that is currently in Israel and Gaza from turning into a regional conflict “, added Sullivan.
“But the risk is real, and as such, vigilance is high and the measures we are taking to prevent it are serious, systematic and ongoing,” he said.
