Since the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the US military has suffered a number of attacks in the Middle East. Iran's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Amir Said Irawani, reiterated on December 4 local time that Iran was not involved in any actions or attacks against the U.S. team. This is the second time in a month that he has made a similar statement.
According to Reuters, the United States recently accused Iranian-backed Houthis of carrying out a series of attacks in Middle East waters, in addition to Iranian-backed militias also launching attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria. U.S. adviser Jake Sullivan said on the 4th that the U.S. "has every reason to believe that although the attack was carried out by the Houthis, it was entirely facilitated by Iran."

However, Irawani refuted the US accusations on the 4th, emphasizing that Iran was not involved in any actions or attacks against the US team. He noted on November 10 that "Iran has not participated in a single attack on US military bases and personnel in the Middle East." ”。
At the same time, Iran's spokesman Nasser Kanaani also said that the claim that Iran should be responsible for any attack by the militant group it supports is "baseless and unconstructive".
As we have made clear before, the Resistance will not take Iran's orders to confront the war crimes and genocide committed by Israel. Kanaani added.
Iran has repeatedly slammed Israel's indiscriminate bombardment of civilians in Gaza, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abdollahian said in a phone call with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Al Thani last month that the expansion of the conflict between Israel and Hamas was "inevitable."
On December 2, local time, Abdullahi warned again in a phone call with EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell that "if the Israeli regime does not stop the war crimes committed in Gaza and the West Bank, the intensity of the war in the region may intensify and the scope may expand." ”
He stressed that Iran's rejection of "Israel's plans and practices to forcibly expel Palestinians from its land" and that it was Israel's "occupation and aggression" that exacerbated the seriousness of the problem.
The U.S. military command announced on December 4 that at least 15 rockets fired from Iraq at the U.S. military base in Syria on December 3, but no U.S. personnel or equipment were damaged. Earlier, Pentagon deputy spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said that US forces in the Middle East had been attacked 74 times since October 17.
It is worth noting that after the US military disclosed on December 3 that it had exchanged fire with Houthi drones and missiles, both the Pentagon and the White House said that they were "unable to assess" whether the United States ** was the target. In this regard, some U.S. people are frustrated, believing that Biden is deliberately downplaying the major threat facing the U.S. military. In the eyes of people in the know, Biden's purpose in downplaying the threat is to cool down regional conflicts.
