US President Joe Biden has issued a stern warning amid recent US strikes on Iraq and Syria, stating that the United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East, but will respond if any harm comes to an American. The strikes were carried out in response to heightened tensions in the region, with the US targeting militia positions in both Iraq and Syria. This marks the start of a series of retaliatory measures against Iranian-backed militias, who have been implicated in attacks on US troops. The president’s statement came after three American soldiers were killed in Jordan by a drone launched by militant groups backed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). The US military struck targets at facilities used by the IRGC and affiliated militia to attack US forces. The strikes involved the participation of Air Force B-1 bombers, and US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has confirmed that these actions are only the beginning of the response, with further measures to be taken to hold the IRGC and affiliated militias accountable. The United States is determined to defend its interests and will not tolerate attacks on American forces.
