As a final question, the BBC's Jessica Parker asks Blinken why he is refusing to discuss the events overnight. | |
Conceding that he is going to be "incredibly boring", the top US diplomat again declines to speak about the apparent Israeli attack on Iran. | |
Blinken does repeat that the US was "not involved" in any offensive military operations and is continuing to work for de-escalation. | |
In answer to a second question about how he would characterise the current state of US-Israeli relations, Blinken says "we are engaged on a regular, pretty much daily basis". | |
"We are committed to helping Israel defend itself and as necessary participating in its defence, as you saw just a few days ago." | |
