John Kirby Says U.S. is Not Currently Considering a Ceasefire Against Hamas Terrorists (VIDEO)
In a recent interview on CNN, John Kirby, the National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, joined Wolf Blitzer to discuss the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, as well as the rising tensions with Iran.
The conversation touched on several sensitive topics, including the possibility of a U.S. war with Iran and the Biden regime’s stance on the hostage situation involving Hamas.
Blitzer began the interview by asking Kirby about the release of two more hostages by Hamas, questioning what the terrorist organization hopes to achieve by releasing hostages in a piecemeal fashion.
Kirby responded that while it’s difficult to understand Hamas’s motivations, the immediate focus is on securing the release of all hostages, particularly the Americans still being held.
The conversation took a serious turn when Blitzer revealed that CNN had learned of U.S. intelligence indicating plans by Iranian-backed militia groups to ramp up attacks against American forces in the Middle East.

We will take our national security interests very, very seriously in the
