Syria and Iraq denounce deadly strikes carried out on their soil by the United States. At least 29 pro-Iranian fighters, including nine Syrians, six Iraqis and six Lebanese from Hezbollah, were killed in these strikes in Deir Ezzor and Al-Mayadine in war-torn eastern Syria.
In Baghdad, the authorities denounced "a violation of Iraqi sovereignty" and decided to summon the American charge d'affaires to give him an "official letter of protest" Since mid-October, shortly after the start of the Gaza war on October 7, more than 165 drone strikes and rocket attacks have targeted US forces in Iraq and Syria.
