'We are concerned at the possibility of Iranian proxies, escalating their attacks against our own personnel,' Blinken said on 'Face the Nation.'
As Israel prepares for an expected ground invasion of Gaza while violence escalates along the Lebanese border and in the occupied West Bank, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he was concerned about Iranian proxies potentially targeting American personnel — and he said authorities will be ready to 'respond decisively' to any attacks if necessary.
Israel has traded fire with Lebanon's Hezbollah — the militant group that is backed by Iran — on a near-daily basis since the war began, driving concerns that the conflict will spread throughout the region. More than 4,300 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-backed Palestinian Health Ministry.
