U.S. not ‘blind’ to what Iran is capable of after Hamas leader killed, White House says

White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said Wednesday that it was “too soon” to say whether the latest events in the Middle East would affect prospects for a ceasefire agreement, following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. “We have and will maintain a level of readiness to preserve our national security interest in the region. It’s not like we take a blind eye to what Iran is capable of doing,” added Kirby.
