Syria and Iraq denounce deadly American strikes on their territories. At least 23 pro-Iranian fighters, including nine Syrians and six Iraqis, were killed in eastern Syria.
In Iraq, 16 people, including civilians, died, the Iraqi government announced on Saturday. The United States said the strikes were a response to the attack on January 28 on a base in Jordan, near the Syrian and Iraqi borders, which cost the lives of three American soldiers. The American military intervention lasted around thirty minutes and was "a success", according to the White House, which once again assured that it did not want a "war" with Iran.
