US Military Retaliatory Air Strike Kills 40 People In Iraq And Syria

US Military Retaliatory Air Strike Kills 40 people have been killed or injured in Iraq and Syria as the United States retaliates for attacks on U.S. military bases. According to Reuters, about 40 people were killed in Iraq and Syria due to U.S. airstrikes on the 3rd (local time).

On the 2nd, the U.S. military carried out airstrikes on 85 targets in Iraq and Syria related to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Iranian-backed militias. Iraq announced that 16 people, including civilians, were killed in this airstrike, and Syria also condemned that 23 people were killed.

“This attack is another adventurous and strategic mistake by the United States,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Khanaani said in a statement, adding, “This will only increase instability and tensions in the region.”

This airstrike was in retaliation for an earlier attack on a U.S. military base by a Middle Eastern armed group. On the 27th of last month, three U.S. soldiers were killed and about 40 injured in a drone strike on Tower 22, a U.S. military base in northeastern Jordan.

The U.S. military has expressed its intention to retaliate, saying it does not want to escalate the war, but will not sit idly by and watch attacks on U.S. troops.
