White House says Iran did not warn US about attack specifics

An anti-missile system operates after Iran launched drones and missiles towards Israel , as seen from Ashkelon, Israel April 14, 2024 White House national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that the United States did exchange messages with Iran but that there were never any messages regarding Iran 's timeframe or targets for its weekend attack.

Turkish, Jordanian and Iraqi officials said on Sunday that Iran gave wide notice days before its drone and missile attack on Israel, but US officials said Tehran did not warn Washington and that it was aiming to cause significant damage. Israel's army said Monday that those killed in a strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus had engaged in"terrorism against Israel" - the first official comment on the April 1 attack.

Iran had vowed to avenge the strike on the consular section of its embassy that killed seven Revolutionary Guards including two generals from the Quds Force, the Guards' foreign operations arm.
