 Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the United States has taken necessary and appropriate action when it launched airstrikes against Iran-backed militias in Iraq and Syria, sending a strong message and also an important one. Blinken told reporters in Rome at a news conference with Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Mau. And given these ongoing attacks that you referred to by Iran-backed groups targeting our interest in Iraq, he directed further military action, we've taken action previously, to disrupt and deter these attacks. We took necessary, appropriate, deliberate action that is designed to limit the risk of escalation, but also to send a clear and unambiguous deterrent message. This action, in self-defense, to do what's necessary to prevent further attacks, I think sends a very important and strong message, and I hope very much that it is received by those who are intended to receive it. I think we've demonstrated, both with the actions taken last night and actions taken previously, that the President is fully prepared to act and act appropriately and deliberately to protect U.S. interests, to protect our people, to protect our personnel. And again, I would hope that the message sent by the strikes last night will be heard and deter future action. And now one other part of my question, I had asked whether you hold Iran responsible for these attacks. Well, a number of the groups involved in recent attacks are militia.
