Foreign Ministry: Russia is seeking consideration of the situation in Syria and Iraq through the UN Security Council. The largest US air operation in the region since 2003, portrayed by Joe Biden as an “act of retaliation” for an attack by an unidentified drone on a US base in Jordan, has no justification,” the report said.

On the night of February 3, US Central Command (CENTCOM) forces carried out airstrikes on 85 targets in Iraq and Syria. The Iraqi government called it an act of aggression.
