According to Reuters, the US bombed a structure in Syria belonging to what it described as an “Iran-backed militia.” Two anonymous US officials told Reuters that the attack was approved by President Biden.
The airstrike is being presented as retaliation for recent rocket attacks in Iraq, including one in Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, that killed a contractor. The US often blames these types of attacks on Iran-aligned groups, but there are many forces inside Iraq that have their own reasons to fire on the US.
Kataib Hezbollah, an Iraqi Shia militia aligned with Iran, denied any role in the Erbil attack. With Iran seeking sanctions relief from the new administration, orchestrating such an attack does not seem to be in their interest.
The Biden administration has yet to publicly attribute blame for the Erbil attack, but US media outlets were quick to blame the incident on Iran despite a lack of evidence.
Whether they hit the right persons or not, there will be another attack. And another. And another – until the USG gets US out.
Iran supports militia’s in many countries it is their way of supporting them against invasion, occupation and insurgencies..
Interesting however that only militia’s in Iraq attack American installations.
If Iran is the common denominator you would think Syrian Militia’s would be sending rockets into American bases as well.
Every new President has to show he/she is willing to pull the trigger, it’s primitive, it stinks, and when people are killed it’s bloody murder.
Other nations must show the new President that they will pull the trigger too, so he’d best not shoot up everything.
How presidential to be “guided by the beauty of our weapons”.

They were expendable. Wrong place wrong time. Probably just some former ISIS members working as temps.
Blinken and Biden bomb Syria for an Iraqi Militia attack in Iraq?
Now that is some high level Zion Logic.
“US media outlets were quick to blame the incident on Iran despite a lack of evidence”
I’m so sick of reading this phrase.
The US bombs a probably empty building in Syria to “punish” an Iranian-backed (so what) Iraq militia. . . .Isn’t that a US-backed Saudi air force that is destroying Yemen?. . .a Pakistan-backed Taliban that’s defeating the US in Afghanistan? . . .a Russian-backed Syria army foiling the US regime change in Syria? . . .Lots of backers in this world.
The US actually prefers to act directly than to back another force. That’s why Iraqis hate the US.
..from the files..
The Amiriyah shelter bombing was an aerial attack that killed at least 408 civilians on 13 February 1991 during the Persian Gulf War, when an air-raid shelter (“Public Shelter No. 25”), in the Amiriyah neighborhood of Baghdad, Iraq, was destroyed by the U.S. Air Force with two laser-guided “smart bombs.”
Just the beginning. Israel wants the Assad Gov’t gone. Since the friends of the Zionist enterprise are in control here you can count on Harris to deliver.
