Blinken discusses the implications of a no-fly zone and reiterates the U.S. stance on avoiding war with Russia.

Where we are our now is not in a good place. What we've seen in the last weeks and months is Iran is actually moving forward with this program.
The response we got was unfortunately not the yes that we were looking for. A yes that virtually the entire world has given.
