Positive Talks for Hostage Release with Hamas, Says White House

The White House indicated on Monday that "the United States does not want a broader war with Iran or in the region," adding that "the American administration believes that a single drone targeted American soldiers in Jordan at the beginning of the week." National Security Council spokesman John Kirby noted that "talks aiming at the release of hostages held in Gaza are constructive," and added that "the country sees a framework for reaching a new agreement."
