The Middle East has turned into a burning volcano. Far from solving the Israel-Palestine crisis, this is no longer a war of words, the Middle East and Western countries have waged a terrible war among themselves. Not only that, the US is playing with fire by supporting Israel.
Not only that, this time the old president Biden, who is under pressure in his own country, has crossed all limits. He seems to be losing his appetite. So they are making Iran angry again and again without understanding anything. This time they attacked the territory of Middle Eastern countries Iraq and Syria.
The US launched airstrikes on 85 targets in Syria and Iraq on Friday. The country carried out the counter-attack in retaliation for a drone attack on one of its military installations in Jordan. Three US soldiers were killed and more than 40 were injured in the attack last Sunday.
Iran-backed armed forces allegedly have numerous bases, arsenals and training centers in Iraq and Syria, from which more than 170 attacks on US bases in the region have been launched since October 7. The US is now targeting these areas.
According to the US command center, Washington carried out these attacks on the installations of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC and Iran-backed armed groups. The attack used long-range B-1 bombers, which were flown directly from the United States.
The US military said in a statement that more than 85 targets were hit simultaneously in seven locations. These attacks were carried out in three places in Iraq and four in Syria. Other targets included armed groups' command and control centers, military logistics and drone storage units.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claims that at least 13 people of the armed group supported by Iran have been killed in Syria alone.
From Iraq to Lebanon, from Syria to Yemen, the Quds Force has extensive influence across the Middle East. This powerful force has increased its influence by joining hands with various armed groups in the countries of the Middle East. Through this, Washington responded to the drone attack on the US military base in Jordan near the Syrian border on Sunday.
Three US soldiers were killed in the attack on the military base. At least 41 people were injured. Washington blamed Iran-backed armed groups for the attack. In response, the United States authorized strikes on various installations of Iran-backed armed groups in Syria and Iraq.
And this is the first multi-pronged response by the Joe Biden administration against Iran-backed armed groups. The intensity of attacks may increase in the coming days. Although Washington called this attack a success, Biden could not show the courage to attack Iran directly.
After the announcement of the attack by Biden, Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi said that Iran does not want war, but Tehran will respond to all provocations. And Syria called the US airstrikes on its territory as American aggression. Iraq's military also reacted strongly.
Iraqi military spokesman Yahya Rasool accused Friday's attack of a violation of sovereignty. Said, because of the attack on the border, there may be a big tension between Baghdad and Washington. Iraq's Counter-Terrorism Umbrella Group - The Islamic Resistance Movement has attacked several US positions in Iraq and Syria.
In a statement early Saturday morning, the Iraqi resistance movement said it had launched a missile attack on the US airbase in Ain al-Asad in western Iraq's al-Anbar province. In addition, missiles and drone attacks have been carried out on al-Tanaf military base in southeastern Syria bordering Jordan and the US military base located in al-Khadra village in northeastern Syria's Hasaka province.
