The United States is not actively considering entering into a military conflict with Iran in an effort to dismantle the country’s nuclear program, a senior U.S. official confirmed, amid rising regional tensions and renewed concerns over nuclear proliferation in the Middle East.

The statement comes as diplomatic channels remain strained following reports of provocative rhetoric involving multiple nations.

A member of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council claimed that Pakistani officials had conveyed a stark warning to Iran: in the event that Israel were to deploy a nuclear weapon against Tehran, Pakistan would retaliate by launching a nuclear strike on Israel.

While this alleged communication has not been confirmed by Pakistani authorities, its circulation has added a new layer of urgency to an already volatile regional security environment.

U.S. officials reiterated that Washington remains committed to pursuing diplomatic solutions to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions, emphasizing that there is currently no intention of launching or participating in military operations aimed at dismantling Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

The official added that the United States continues to monitor the situation closely and maintains ongoing consultations with key allies and regional partners.

The reported remarks from Iran’s security leadership have fueled growing international concern about the possibility of nuclear escalation involving non-combatant states.

Analysts warn that such rhetoric, if left unchecked, risks destabilizing broader efforts toward de-escalation and non-proliferation in the region.

Neither Pakistan nor Israel has issued an official response to the reported exchange, and there has been no independent verification of the claim. However, the alleged statement underscores the heightened sensitivity and potential for rapid escalation if hostilities were to expand or involve weapons of mass destruction.

U.S. officials continue to urge all parties to exercise restraint and adhere to international norms, including commitments under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).

The blast, which sent shockwaves across the bustling commercial district, is being investigated as a possible terror or organized crime-related attack amid Ecuador’s ongoing struggle with rising gang violence.

The explosion occurred near one of the main entrances of Mall del Sol, one of Guayaquil’s largest and busiest shopping centers, located in the north of the city.
