The Biden administration has carried out a series of airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, targeting Iranian-backed militants responsible for a drone attack that killed three American soldiers and injured numerous others in Jordan. The United States hit 85 targets across seven locations, with four strikes in Syria and three in Iraq, according to reports from the US Central Command.
The strikes, which lasted for approximately 30 minutes, were characterized as successful by the White House. However, President Biden made it clear that this is just the beginning, stating that the response will continue at times and places of their choosing. The president emphasized that the United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world.
