U.S. Airstrikes in Syria Target Iran-Backed Militias

**BidenPresident** · 02-25-2021, 10:06 PM

WASHINGTON — The United States on Thursday carried out airstrikes in eastern Syria against buildings belonging to what the Pentagon said were Iran-backed militias responsible for recent attacks against American and allied personnel in Iraq.

President Biden authorized the strikes in response to the rocketing in Iraq and to continuing threats to American and coalition personnel there, said John F. Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, who spoke with reporters traveling with Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III in California.

Who's to say they're affiliated with Iran at all? Iran gets attacked by terrorists from that general area too!

Come on do you really think hitting some buildings that were used to distribute arms to terrorists was a bad thing, as a retaliation for an attack that killed and hurt Americans?
Come on we both Know you would much have preferred we hit a target in Iran, works out both ways for you then, you can whine about the warmonger Democrat and enjoy that the US is hitting back at Iran whom you hate. Been honest for Once in your life, admit the truth...

Hitting those building probably helped Iran. They may get a few less terrorist attacks this month.
