Biden orders airstrikes on Iranian-backed militants in Iraq

President Biden orders airstrikes on Iranian-backed militants in Iraq.

In a daring move, President Joe Biden has ordered a series of airstrikes targeting three facilities in Iraq used by the Iranian-backed militant group Kata Hezbollah. This significant development comes in response to the group's claim of responsibility for a drone attack on Monday at the Erbil Air Base, which left three troops injured, one of them critically.

The United States' decision to carry out these strikes within Iraq has sparked both controversy and condemnation from the Iraqi government, who view them as hostile acts. Such actions highlight the sensitivity surrounding these decisions and the intricate nature of carrying out strikes in another country's territory.
