This was stated by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“Washington, believing in its impunity, continues to sow destruction and chaos in the Middle East. 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 Syria and Iraq. The response to the attack on the Jordan base will continue, President Joe Biden said.
The Iraqi government called it an act of aggression. The airstrikes reportedly killed at least 16 people, including civilians.
The Syrian Ministry of Defense also stated that US airstrikes in the east of the country led to the deaths of both civilians and military personnel.
