US launches retaliatory strikes in Iraq and Yemen | BBC News

The US has launched strikes on 85 targets in Syria and Iraq, in response to a drone attack on a US military base that killed three soldiers. Last Sunday, three US soldiers were killed and more than 40 personnel injured in a drone attack at a US base in Jordan. The White House blamed Iran and vowed a “very consequential response”, while Iran has denied involvement, calling the accusations “baseless”. Meanwhile, Iraq has warned that the strikes would bring disastrous consequences for the security and stability of the region.

The United States has launched strikes on targets in Syria and Iraq in response to a drone attack last weekend on a US military base that killed three soldiers. US Central Command stated that its forces hit a total of 85 targets. The airstrikes targeted Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and affiliated militia groups. New images released by the US Central Command show B1 bombers taking off to carry out the airstrikes.

American bombers carried out airstrikes on more than 85 targets, including the personnel and facilities of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and the militant groups it backs, but only locations in Iraq and Syria were hit, not Iranian territory. The White House emphasized that the US does not seek conflict with Iran and aims to stop these attacks by degrading the capabilities of the militant groups. The drone attack on a US base in Jordan last Sunday, which killed three US soldiers and wounded dozens more, prompted the US to respond. President Biden stated that the US will respond if Americans are harmed.

In Iran, there was a defiant message from President Raisi, stating that Iran would respond firmly if bullied. The airstrikes are seen as a clear message that attacks on US troops must stop, but there are warnings about the dangers of escalating tensions in a volatile region.

In Iraq, there was a strong statement from a spokesman for the Iraqi military condemning the strikes as a violation of Iraqi sovereignty and warning of unpredictable consequences. The concern is not only about the American strikes but also about how Iran and its supported groups might react, potentially escalating the situation further in Iraq.

Iran supports various factions across the Middle East, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who have been carrying out attacks in the region. While these groups are supported by Iran, they claim to act independently, though they are trained and armed by Iran.

The US has warned Iran against escalating the situation and urged it to use its influence to stop the attacks carried out by these groups across the region.

XPLAINER: TRUTH ABOUT THE LATEST U.S. STRIKES ON IRAQ & SYRIA: As usual, US government and MSM are lying about just about everything surrounding the 3 United States soldiers killed at “Tower 22” and supposed “Iranian aggression”. Iraq and Syria want the U.S. occupiers out of their countries, simply put. #Iran is their ally, but they are not Iran’s proxies. Watch this video and you will know and understand more than 99% of people in America and its allied countries. Watch & Share:

  • Satire has lost all meaning; we are living in a real-life satire: The US bombed 85 targets in Iraq and Syria, killing c. 40 people. But just after ordering these attacks, Biden claimed, “The United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world”.  Ben Norton

As I argue here about the US’s useless airstrikes in Iraq & Syria, it’s not only Trump who sees Biden as a doddering old fool, but Iran does too. I also remind everyone how Iraq was destroyed in 2003 for far less than what Iran does today but the US does nothing.

  • Our forces in Iraq and Syria are easy targets. We have been facing opponents without armies, air forces and air defenses. That is about to end. Iran, Turkey, Hezbollah: these are real forces with real capability. – Douglas Macgregor
