US Launches Airstrikes on Iran-Backed Militias in Iraq and Syria
The strikes, aimed at deterring further attacks on American forces, have drawn criticism and warnings of escalation from Iraq, Syria, and Iran.
- The US conducted airstrikes on over 85 targets in Iraq and Syria in response to a drone attack by an Iranian-backed militia that killed three US servicemembers in Jordan.
- Iraq and Syria have condemned the airstrikes, with both governments accusing the US of undermining regional stability and causing civilian casualties.
- The Biden administration asserts that the strikes are part of a broader strategy to deter attacks on American forces and interests in the Middle East.
- Critics argue that the airstrikes may not effectively deter Iranian proxies and could lead to further escalation in the region.
- The US is also pursuing diplomatic efforts, including a potential 'grand bargain' to transform the Middle East, amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
