[It's back to business as usual for the
military-industrial complex and their hired hand.] The Biden administration conducted an airstrike on "Iranian-linked fighters" in Syria today, and officials hope it killed a number of alleged Iranian-linked fighters, signaling its intent to use targeted military actions to push against any violence they can tie to Tehran (the capital of Iran).
The aggressive U.S. attack on a border-crossing station in eastern Syria, the first known lethal operation ordered by the Biden administration against Iran’s network of alleged armed proxies, was “authorized in response to recent attacks against American and coalition personnel in Iraq, and to ongoing threats,” Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby claimed.
These facilities were used by Iranian-linked Iraqi militias, including Kataib Hezbollah and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, he said.
The operation follows a deadly attack on a location housing U.S. personnel in Iraq that American officials have attributed to Iranian-linked groups.
Earlier this month, rocket fire in northern Iraq led to
the death of a contractor working with the U.S. military [though not actually an American] and injured a U.S. service member.
