    No, they did not directly tell the US as far as I can tell. They did so indirectly and with short notice, different from the last time when they gave a 72 hour warning.

    Miller states that the Iranian strikes were targeting civilians, while Israel does not target civilians. Both of which are not true.

    Notice how Miller, who is representing the US State Department here, frames all of Israel’s actions as defensive and just (despite directly bombing a Capitol, killing hundreds of civilians, and starting a ground invasion), while all the actions of any of Israel’s enemies are unjust and demands consequences (despite attacking military targets and not civilian targets). The double standards are blatant and intentional, in order to justify the US’s continued military support of Israel, despite public opinion, US Law, and International Law.

      Yes I understand Iran objectively lied and never told us, directly or indirectly, based on the evidence. The rest of this sounds like your opinion. And as though mistrust should be taken towards our officials.

      Well, I believe them, and I agree with their stance on Iran.

      This is no longer a factual discussion, and I won’t be continuing.

      And I picked up on the attempt to incorrectly frame what was said in the quote. Miller did not say all the things you’re claiming.
