💥U.S. MILITARY LAUNCHES WAVE OF STRIKES AGAINST IRGC TARGETS IN IRAQ AND SYRIA💥
The United States Armed Forces launched a wave of "retaliatory" strikes against supposed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Iraq and Syria Friday after previously blaming Iran for the recent deaths of three American soldiers by Shia militias in Iraq and Syria.
Although many of these groups receive funding and purchase arms from Iran, the White House has yet to produce evidence that any these Militias, such as Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq, take literal orders from Iran, or that Iran even knew anything about the attacks on American bases.
Iran, for its part, denies involvement in the drone strikes that killed three U.S. soldiers on the border of Jordan and Syria, and denies knowing about it in advance.
Still, United States Central Command (CENTCOM) released a statement on the social media platform X, announcing that U.S. had "conducted airstrikes in Iraq and Syria against Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militia groups."
U.S. forces launched strikes against "85 targets" in Iraq and Syria, utilizing "numerous aircraft," including long-range bombers "flown from the United States."
According to CENTCOM, the attacked also used "125 precise munitions" striking "command and control operation centers, intelligence centers, rockets and missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles storages, and logistics and munition supply chain facilities" belonging to Militia groups "and their IRGC sponsors who facilitated the attacks" against U.S. and partner countries in the region.
In Iran, President Ebrahim Raeisi vowed to respond to any attack by U.S. Forces, telling reporters earlier Friday that Iran has "said many times that we will not be the initiator of any war, but if a country or a cruel force wants to bully the Islamic Republic of Iran, it will respond firmly."
Despite the death of three U.S. service members and the wounding of dozens as a result of the recent strikes on U.S. bases, all of which are located in the middle of the desert overlooking refugees of U.S. wars, yet no one in the U.S. mainstream media seems capable of asking just what American soldiers were doing on the border of Jordan and Syria in the first place?
And how does having U.S. soldiers in a post in the deserts of the Levant, overlooking the refugees of war or stealing Syrian oil is making America a safer place? Or how a regional war in the Middle East will lower inflation rates, slow the growth of U.S. public and private debt, solve homelessness, immigration or crime?
