U.S. Launches Retaliatory Airstrikes in Syria and Iraq
In response to a drone strike that killed three American soldiers in Jordan, the U.S. has launched retaliatory airstrikes in Syria and Iraq. The operation took place shortly after President Biden attended the dignified transfer of the fallen service members. The strikes were intended to send a message to Iran, but it is important to understand what Iran is trying to accomplish and what the U.S. is aiming to convey.
