The US Air Force has carried out airstrikes against targets of Iranian-backed groups stationed in the border area of Iraq and Syria. This was announced by Pentagon press Secretary John Kirby.
According to him, the corresponding instruction was given by US President Joe Biden. “Given the ongoing series of attacks by Iranian-backed groups on American interests in Iraq, the president has ordered further military actions to disrupt and prevent such attacks,” the press secretary said.
Kirby noted that the United States, carrying out airstrikes, acted in accordance with its right to self-defense. “The strikes were necessary to eliminate the threat and had a proper limitation on the scale,” he added.
