WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday carried out an airstrike in Syria against a structure belonging to what it said were Iran-backed militia, two officials told Reuters, an apparent response to rocket attacks against U.S. targets in Iraq.

While the strike could be the first retaliatory moves by the United States following last week’s attacks, the move appeared to be limited in scope, potentially lowering the risk of escalation.

Also a decision to strike only in Syria and not in Iraq would give the Iraqi government some breathing room as it carries out its own investigation of a Feb. 15 attack that wounded Americans.

The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the strike was approved by President Joe Biden. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

One official said the strike was in response to the recent rocket attacks in Iraq.

    EGADS! Joe sure has a lot of hobbies!

    • he sure has and it's not worth bragging about.

    • AND the evil geezer should be in prison, in chains so he can't do anymore damage.

       

    • that's right Melanie

  • And the OLD man is just getting started! IF TRUMP were still in office we'd be in good shape with our COUNTRY.....This dog headed old fool is killing this country....

     

  • Imagine, YOUR government being so screwed up as to bomb an Iranian-backed target WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY TRYING TO NEGOTIATE WITH SUCH SOON-TO-BE-NUCLEAR-POWERED THUGS.

    Trump's only error with Iran was in NOT BOMBING the SNOT outa the Iranian centrifuges and related nuclear development facilities. 

    • Andy, that thought exactly crossed my mind then.

      My guess is he did not want to risk exciting the Neo-cons with dollar signs in their eyes.

    • it is screwed up big time there is no end to this it's getting worse as the day goes by.

    • Andy, Trump stopped Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. He canceled the worst deal ever and instead imposed sanctions again, which prevents Iran from getting the nuclear bomb. Dealing with Iran is one of Trump's greatest foreign policy achievements, worthy of a Peace Nobel Prize. 

    • And yet, those centrifuges are STILL SPINNING AWAY, 24/7/365, hidden in their underground lairs.
