While attacks on US bases in Iraq and Syria continue, US President Joe Biden signaled that he may organize an operation to protect the bases in those countries. In his letter to Congress, Biden reminded that pro-Iran militia groups carried out a series of attacks against US personnel and facilities in Iraq and Syria and said, “These attacks caused injuries to US personnel and seriously damaged the lives of both US personnel and coalition forces serving with US forces.” “It put him under threat,” he said.
“USA IS READY TO TAKE FURTHER STEPS”
In his letter, in which he stated that the US army carried out attacks against the militia groups in Iraq and Syria in line with the order of Biden, he said: “The purpose of the attacks is to neutralize a series of ongoing attacks against the United States and our partners and to target Iran and Iran-backed militia groups against US personnel and “The aim was to deter them from launching or supporting new attacks against their facilities,” he said.
In his letter, Biden stated that the attacks were carried out within the constitutional framework, in accordance with international law and using the USA’s natural right of self-defense, and said, “The USA is ready to take further steps as necessary and appropriate in the event of further threats or attacks.”
ATTACKS ON US BASES INCREASED AFTER ISRAEL’S ATTACKS ON GAZA
After Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip began on October 7, attacks on the bases of the US-led international coalition forces in Iraq and Syria began to increase. Most of the attacks were claimed by the group called “Iraqi Islamic Resistance”, under the umbrella of pro-Iran Shiite militia groups.
