A statement by Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III said of the Iranian and Houthi attacks, "We condemn these reckless and unprecedented attacks by Iran and its proxies, and we call on Iran to immediately halt any further attacks, including from its proxy forces, and to deescalate tensions.
We do not seek conflict with Iran, but we will not hesitate to act to protect our forces and support the defense of Israel".
