U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said in a press briefing on Wednesday that Washington was not involved in this week’s communication device explosions in Lebanon.

“We were not involved in (Tuesday’s) incidents or (Wednesday’s) in any way. And I don’t have anything more to share,” he told reporters.

“We want to see the war end. And everything we’ve been doing since the beginning has been designed to prevent the conflict from escalating,” Kirby said. “We still believe that there is a diplomatic path forward, particularly up near Lebanon.”
