The Pentagon has announced that it has bombed several facilities in Syria and Iraq, which involve Iran-backed militias.
It is said to be a retaliation measure against attacks targeting local facilities related to the United States.
A Pentagon spokesman, Kirby, said yesterday that he had bombed several facilities related to Iran-backed militias on the border between Syria and Iraq.
In a statement, "In response to repeated attacks from militia organizations, President Biden ordered military action to stop the attack," he said, saying that it is a retaliation measure against attacks targeting US-related facilities.
Regarding the targets of air strikes, he said, "It is a facility used by a militia organization supported by Iran, which is involved in drone attacks targeting Americans and facilities stationed in Iraq," and two locations in Syria. , It is said that there is one arsenal in Iraq.
On the other hand, regarding the scale of the airstrike, the United States and Iran said that they took necessary and appropriate actions to send a clear message of deterrence while avoiding the risk of increasing tension. While continuing the discussions indirectly, it suggests that the scale did not affect diplomatic negotiations.
In February, the Biden administration also bombed facilities related to Iran-backed militias in eastern Syria in the form of retaliation for attacks on US troops and others.
