Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi contended that the U.S. had played a role in the airstrikes, suggesting involvement from American military bases in the region. <\/p>\n<p>As a backdrop to the escalating tensions, the U.S. had recently failed to negotiate a deal regarding Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions, prompting further conflict.Secretary of State Marco rubio reiterated that the U.S.was not part of the attacks and emphasized the priority of protecting American forces in the area. The conflicts surrounding the strikes have led to significant casualties in both Iran and Israel. As trump attends a G7 Summit in Canada, discussions regarding the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran are expected to surface among global leaders.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump says US had &lsquo;nothing to do&rsquo; with recent strikes on Iran, warns &lsquo;full strength&rsquo; response if attacked<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2147967\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> rebutted allegations that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/military\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"U.S. Armed Forces\">U.S. Armed Forces<\/a> were involved in Saturday night&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3442233\/tehran-burning-israel-defense-minister-says-oil-depot-strikes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"attack against Iran\">attack against Iran<\/a> and warned a military response at &ldquo;levels never seen before&rdquo; would be levied should the U.S. be attacked &ldquo;in any way, shape or form by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Iran\">Iran<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Iran suffered strikes on two of its oil depots in Tehran on Saturday and on its Iranian Defense Ministry Headquarters.
