NEW YORK, June 10. /TASS/. The United States views the new strikes on Iran as a warning to Tehran and believes they will not obstruct negotiations, CNN reported, citing a US official.

According to the official, Washington believes the new strikes will serve as a "warning shot" for Iran. The United States expects that the attack will not interfere with negotiations aimed at resolving the conflict with the Islamic republic, the television network’s source added.
