National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan Doesn’t Rule Out Potential Strikes in Iran

National security adviser Jake Sullivan did not explicitly rule out the possibility of strikes inside Iran following the recent U.S. airstrikes targeting Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria. During an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sullivan, when asked about potential strikes inside Iran, chose not to disclose the specifics of the military actions that have been considered. He did affirm that the president aims to respond forcefully to attacks on American personnel while also expressing a lack of intention to escalate the conflict into a broader war in the Middle East. When pressed further by moderator Kristen Welker, Sullivan consistently declined to rule out the option of strikes inside Iran. Summer Concepcion is a politics reporter for NBC News.
