There is a great danger that IRI responses may kill more US troops and spark more escalation
“At least 16 people have been killed in U.S. retaliatory strikes in Iraq, the government said, condemning the “new aggression against” its sovereignty. Civilians were among the fatalities, and 25 people were wounded in the bombings that targeted both civilian and security areas, a government spokesperson said.“South Front
On Friday, Syrian state media said that an “American aggression” on a number of sites in Syria’s desert areas and the Syrian and Iraqi border resulted in a number of casualties and injuries
Iran says the attacks by the United States inside Iraq and Syria are a “strategic error” that will only add to tensions and instability in the Middle East heightened by Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
Most western media sites suppressed the news of the US killings, merely asserting an anonymous official has ‘hinted’ at a ‘deescalation.
Iran says the attacks by the United States inside Iraq and Syria are a “strategic error” that will only add to tensions and instability in the Middle East heightened by Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
Iraqi authorities say 16 people have been killed anbd 25 wounded including civilians in strikes near the Syrian border.
Now there’s a cascade of condemnations from Iraqi politicians and militias accusing the US of “aggression”, insisting their country is not “an arena for settling scores”.
Despite the heavy death toll, the U.S. strikes failed to deter Iranian-backed forces. Just minutes after the strikes, there were reports of a rocket attack on the Conoco gas plant in Syria’s Deir Ezzor, which hosts a number of U.S. troops.South Front
The US forces launched a wave of air strikes against Iranian-backed fighters in Iraq and Syria on Friday in retaliation for a drone attack in Jordan that killed three American soldiers on Sunday.
Iraq warns of disastrous consequences for region after US strikes
The next day, the IRI announced that it had targeted the Harir Air Base in the northern Iraqi autonomous region of Kurdistan with a suicide drone and released video footage of the attack. It also vowed that its military campaign against U.S. forces will go on.South Front
The IRI carried out more than a hundred attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria since the outbreak of the war in Gaza and the unwavering support by Washington for it.
The U.S. vowed that strikes on Iranian-backed forces will continue. This will likely only lead to more escalation in Iraq, Syria and other parts of the Middle East.
IRAN REACTION
“The return of stability and security to the region cannot be imagined but through focusing on the root cause of the crisis and resolving it,” it said.The US has operated military bases around the Middle East for decades. There are about 30,000 US soldiers scattered across the region. In addition, since the Gaza war began in October, the US has temporarily sent thousands of additional troops to the region, including on warships. Friday’s strikes by the US appeared to stop short of directly targeting Iran or senior leaders of the Iranian army within its borders. Iran has denied it was behind the Jordan attack.
In a statement on Saturday, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said the US attacks were a “violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq and Syria, international law, and a clear violation of the United Nations Charter”.“The attacks merely support the goals of the Zionist regime. Such attacks increasingly involve the US government in the region and overshadow the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza,” it said, referring to Israel.
“The continuation of such adventures is a threat to regional and international peace and security,” it added, urging the United Nations Security Council and the international community to prevent the expansion of the crisis.The Iranian statement said the “roots of the tension and crisis in the region go back to the occupation by the Israeli regime and the continuation of this regime’s military operations in Gaza and the genocide of the Palestinians with the unlimited support of the US”.
