Pentagon: U.S. doesn't want a war with Iran

The Pentagon said on Monday it does not believe that Iran is seeking a war with the United States, and that Washington doesn't want a war either, a day after an Iran-backed group killed three U.S. soldiers and wounded dozens more in Jordan.

Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh blamed Iran for enabling groups attacking the United States and said the latest attack carried the "footprints" of Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah.

"We don't seek war, but we will take action, and respond to attacks on our forces," Singh said.
