Saturday or Sunday.. America strikes Iraq and Syria, 2 FEB

 Saturday or Sunday.. America strikes Iraq and Syria

Shafaq News/ The United States of America decided, on Friday, to strike targets in Iraq and Syria this weekend (Saturday or Sunday), in response to the attack on Tower 22 in the Iraqi-Syrian-Jordanian border triangle.

The Wall Street Journal quoted American officials as saying, “The desired targets are Iranian forces and sites, and the strikes will be multi-stage.”

Earlier, the White House confirmed that the United States may resort to a gradual response to the attack that resulted in the recent killing of three members of its forces in Jordan, and the wounding of more than 40 others.

US President Joe Biden announced, in an interview with reporters, that he had made his decision to respond to the attack that targeted the American base. It is noteworthy that the US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on January 28 that an American base on the border between Jordan and Syria had been attacked by a drone.

Washington accused groups allied with Iran of being behind the attack and confirmed that it would respond, while Tehran denied responsibility and said that the “Islamic resistance” takes its decisions without referring to Tehran.
