In a press conference Thursday, Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin parried a question about whether the US warnings had prompted Iranian advisers to leave Syria, and whether all the signalling was an effort to make sure no Iranians are killed when the strikes occur.
“In terms of telegraphing about strikes and whether or not people leave or would’ve left, I won’t speculate on any of that,” Austin said. “I would just tell you that we will have a multi-tiered response.”
