Iran-US strikes strategic mistake: Iran criticized the US for conducting airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, calling it a “strategic mistake” after hitting 85 targets in response to a drone attack on a US military base. The White House blamed an Iran-backed militia group for the drone attack.

The strikes resulted in at least 16 deaths, including civilians, according to Iraqi officials, who called them a violation of sovereignty with disastrous consequences. Syria also protested the “occupation” of its territory. Iran’s foreign ministry stated that the strikes would only escalate tensions.

The US military targeted Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militias in Iraq and Syria, hitting seven locations with over 85 targets. President Biden affirmed that such attacks would continue but emphasized not seeking conflict.

Since the US strikes, there has been one attack on American forces, but no injuries were reported. The US retaliation followed a drone attack on a US base near Jordan’s border with Syria, attributed to the Iranian-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
