The U.S. State Department has issued a directive to all of its embassies and consular posts to, "at their discretion," relay or reiterate to their host governments that the United States "is not involved in Israel's unilateral action against targets in Iran and did not provide tanker support," according to a source familiar with its contents.

In a communication known as an ALDAC cable — referring to All Diplomatic and Consular Posts — that the source described to CBS News, the department also noted that the United States "remains committed to a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear issue."

The cable stressed embassies should communicate to their international counterparts that the "safety and security of all American citizens remains the top priority for the U.S. government," and that "no government, proxy or independent actor should target American citizens, bases, or infrastructure," also adding, "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon."

"The U.S. military remains in a defensive posture to protect U.S. personnel, forces, and infrastructure in the region and to minimize casualties, particularly amid the persistent threat posed by Iranian ballistic missiles," excerpts of the cable said, according to the source. The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

1. Mixed signals what do we believe, Rubio says we weren't involved. While Trump

takes credit at the same time.

[Lovie777]

2. Therefore...........

retrieve funding for VOA.

[slightlv]

3. I have a question

Since we've given up on decency, diplomacy and democracy and now align ourselves with Russia China and other tyrant dictator states, as far as any country can tell... when will one of them tell us WE can no longer have the bomb? Trump can't be trusted not to bomb his own country let alone anyone else. He doesn't understand MAD. Time to take away his toys, much as we were working on doing with Russia not that long ago. And there's another country whose nukes need to be pulled. Pakistan has the bomb. Wanna lay a bet on Saudi Arabia and or Egypt? Seems there's a lot of countries who should have their mass killing weapons confiscated.

4. Krasnov has ruined the credibility of the United States.

Other countries are going to take what we say with a huge grain of salt.

[Shellback Squid]

5. Putin still needs weapons from Iran so trump has to let his daddy know he's not involved

it's the only logical reason I can fathom

[gab13by13]

6. Yes, same reason Krasnov lied and said he stopped

the assassination of Iran's leader. Putin must be giving Krasnov an ear full.

7. Their statement begs credibility. To

believe that we are not providing AWACS support, satellite imagery and other intelligence is pure nonsense.

[Raven123]

8. I would imagine File 13 folder/ trash is full of such statements. No one believes King Donny

[Prairie Gates]

9. A "Whose Mans Is This?" cable

We're in hell.

[Martin68]

10. Bullshit! The US provided weapons, hardware, and intelligence. Netanyahu knows Trump won't sanction Israel.

[iemanja]

12. Additionally, Trump vetoed the killing of the Supreme Leader

which means he greenlighted the rest.

[Tarzanrock]

11. No sane person believes this lying bullshit!

No country in the world believes this lying bullshit from the US State Department nor the lying bullshit from the Turd ror the lying bullshit from Rubio.

[Tarzanrock]

13. Everyone knows that this is the Turd's 'failed' foreign policy.

The Turd and Rubio really have their little dicks in the 'wringer' over their 'failed' foreign policy in the Middle East. For the rest of the 21st Century Americans are going to be the most hated people by everyone in every Arab country in the Middle East. Thanks, Turd.
