The US sees an “elevated risk” of regional spillover from the war between Israel and Hamas and will keep responding to any attacks on its troops by Iranian proxies, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said.
“If they’re attacked again, we will respond again,” Sullivan said in an interview with CBS’s Face the Nation to be aired Sunday when asked whether Iran was now deterred.
