(The Epoch Times)—Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a June 12 press release that the Israeli government acted unilaterally in its decision to strike Iran, and the United States provided no direct assistance in the attack.

On June 12, explosions were reported from Tehran, with Israel acknowledging that it launched what it described as a “pre-emptive strike” on the Persian state. Following the strike, which targeted nuclear sites after days of tensions over Iran’s nuclear program, Israel has declared a state of emergency nationwide.
