The United States has launched what it says are defensive airstrikes against Iran-backed militias along the Iraq-Syria border.
Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said the 'precision' strikes had been launched on Sunday evening.
Two targets were attacked in Syria, with a third also bombed in Iraq. Kirby added that multiple Iran-backed milita groups including Kata'ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS) had been targeted.
Kirby said the targets had been chosen because they had previously launched drone strikes against US personnel and bases in Iraq. It is unclear if anyone was injured or killed in those strikes. President Biden returned to the White House from Camp David on Sunday evening, and answered 'Tomorrow' when asked by reporters to comment on the strikes.
Kirby said: 'At President Biden's direction, U.S. military forces earlier this evening conducted defensive precision airstrikes against facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups in the Iraq-Syria border region.
'The targets were selected because these facilities are utilized by Iran-backed militias that are engaged in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq.
'Specifically, the U.S. strikes targeted operational and weapons storage facilities at two locations in Syria and one location in Iraq, both of which lie close to the border between those countries.

JoeK Bimentia giving “General “woke” Milley his diversion. What’s a couple dozen dead innocents when you need to rehab a total loser like Milley.
Absolutely sickening.
I keep forgetting when we declared war on Syria.
That’s one border I would say Kamala should visit.
So Biden wants to resume talks with putting the Iran nuclear deal back together again but yet he bombs Iranian backed militias. What gives?
ML/NJ
Wag the Dog? They was Clinton’s favorite game. Embarrassing news? Bomb something! Push that rotten news a few pages back! Provide the excuse for TV to not have time to cover the latest scandals.
From the comments:
Blown up by a diaper wearing bumbler. It doesn’t get any more embarrassing than that.
LOL at Biden’s direction..please..he can’t even wipe his own ass
So when does the Commie “Gang” show their outrage?
Tic tok, tic tok.....
Or
Bought off.. bought off....
“That’s one border I would say Kamala should visit”
And just because you don’t want any accidental friendly fire, Kommiela’s convoy should be flying many large American flags.
Well when it was Clinton, and cruise missiles were launched, you knew a bimbo eruption was coming. With SlowJoe and Kamalamadingdong, we’ll have to wait and see.
Because Syria is existential threat or something
Meanwhile the CIA will be selling arms to whoever it is we just bombed.
Trump put a big dent in 0bama and Hillary’s ISIS brigades.
Did they create an aspirin shortage?
Xiden doesn't have the mental faculties to tie his shoes, let alone direct the military. I do not trust the woke military leadership. They can tell Xiden anything they want and Xiden will just sit there drooling while nodding his head. They'll take the nod as an order.
Just say it as it is without the fluff.....
‘At President Biden’s direction, U.S. military forces conducted airstrikes in the Iraq-Syria border region’......
Looks like Obama and his lot are back to regime change in Syria.
Biden did not order these strikes.
Declaring war is so last century. And if we don’t fight them there, we’ll have to fight them here.
Or maybe it has something to do with Freedom Fries.
Anyway, this simple chart should explain everything.
KILL! KILL!! KILL!!!
