The spokesperson emphasized that the United States does not target civilians in military operations. She pivoted to accuse the Iranian regime of responsibility for civilian deaths in the region.
She further alleged that Iran has employed propaganda to advance its narrative, claiming that some American media outlets have amplified these messages.
“I would advise them not to point the finger at the United States of America when it comes to attacking civilians, because this is not something these armed forces do,” Leavitt stated.
