The Biden administration conducted an airstrike against alleged Iranian-linked fighters in Syria on Thursday, signaling its intent to push back against violence believed to be sponsored by Tehran.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the attack on a border control point in eastern Syria, the first action ordered by the Biden administration to push back against alleged Iranian-linked violence in Iraq and Syria, was “authorized in response to recent attacks against American and coalition personnel in Iraq, and to ongoing threats.”

He said the facilities were used by Iranian-linked militias including Kataib Hezbollah and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada.


How glad are you the orangatan didn't try this crap? At least we have a real government now.

Plus, he was not about flexing and fortifying the US on the global stage. Putin wanted us to weaken and appear weakened.
