US carries out air strikes in Syria targeting Iranian backed militia structures


The US military struck a site in Syria on Thursday used by two Iranian-backed militia groups following rocket attacks on American forces in the region in the past two weeks, according to a US official.

The strikes mark the military's first known action under President Joe Biden. The site was not specifically tied to the rocket attacks, but were believed to be used by Iranian-backed Shia militias operating in the region.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said that the strikes took place "at President Biden's direction" and were authorized not just to respond to recent attacks against American and coalition forces, but to deal with "ongoing threats to those personnel."

Kirby said that Biden conducted the strikes after consulting with US allies, including coalition partners.

"Specifically the strikes destroyed multiple facilities located at a border control point used by a number of Iranian backed militant groups including Kait'ib Hezbollah and Kait'ib Sayyid al Shuhada," Kirbry said. "The operation sends an unambiguous message; President Biden will act to protect American coalition personnel. At the same time, we have acted in a deliberate manner that aims to deescalate the overall situation in both Eastern Syria and Iraq."

The site is believed to be used as part of a weapons smuggling operation by the militias. The strikes were carried out to degrade the ability of the groups to carry out future attacks and to send a message about the recent attacks, the US official said.

The decision to target the site in Syria was made from the "top down," a defense official said, and was not because of a specific recommendation from the military.

President Biden authorized the dropping of a single missile on a single building. He choose to select the smallest airstrike possible so as not to escalate the situation. The response was intended to let the USA adversaries in the region know that you cannot attack the US military with impunity.

Just last week the liberals were denying that Iran was behind the attack when I posted the information. Deny, deny, deny...until the very end.

I wonder if it is like when President Clinton had a baby milk plant in Iraq bombed thinking it was a biological weapons plant?

Marshaling the power of their office and the resources of the federal government to help Americans in the wake of a natural disaster is a key responsibility of a president. That brought President Biden on Friday to Texas, which is still recovering from a rare winter blast this month.

BRIEFING ROOM
Statement by President Biden on the Anniversary of Russia’s Illegal Invasion of Ukraine
FEBRUARY 26, 2021 • STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
Seven years ago today, Russia violated international law, the norms by which modern countries engage one another, and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its neighbor Ukraine when it invaded Crimea.

The United States continues to stand with Ukraine and its allies and partners today, as it has from the beginning of this conflict. On this somber anniversary, we reaffirm a simple truth: Crimea is Ukraine.

The United States does not and will never recognize Russia’s purported annexation of the peninsula, and we will stand with Ukraine against Russia’s aggressive acts. We will continue to work to hold Russia accountable for its abuses and aggression in Ukraine.
