The United States has launched a strong attack on the Allah Brigade and its associated organizations in Iraq, marking another escalation of tensions in the region. According to the Russian Satellite News Agency on December 26**, the US Department of Defense announced that in response to the attacks on US troops in Iraq and Syria,** Biden personally approved, the US military launched attacks on three targets of the "Allah Brigade" and its related organizations. The Pentagon stressed that the main purpose of the air strike was to retaliate for the attack on US troops in Iraq by the Allah Brigade and its related organizations.
Yahya Rasul, a spokesman for Iraq's armed forces, said on December 25 that a drone attack on an international coalition military base at Erbil airport, the capital of Iraq's Kurdistan autonomous region, wounded three U.S. soldiers, one of whom was in critical condition. U.S. ** Biden quickly ordered a counterattack. According to reports, one of the main targets of the US airstrikes was the headquarters of the Iraqi militia armed movement in the central city of Hira in Iraq's Babylon province. More than 20 people were injured and one more was killed as a result of the strike.
Before deciding to act, Biden's deputy adviser Jon Finn consulted with ** and summoned senior aides to review the options. Biden ultimately chose to use force, and the U.S. military launched an airstrike around 4:45 a.m. on Tuesday, less than 13 hours after the U.S. military was attacked in Iraq.
On December 26, Greece's Pentapostagma** reported that the United States had bombed pro-Iranian militant groups in Iraq, killing at least one person and wounding 24 others. The airstrike, which was of considerable proportions, resulted in 25 casualties.
Currently, the United States has about 900 troops deployed in Syria and nearly 2,500 troops in Iraq. Since October 9, more than 60 U.S. soldiers have been injured in more than 100 rocket or drone attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria. However, previous U.S. bombing of anti-U.S. militant groups in Iraq and Syria has not had the desired effect, and has instead attracted more retaliatory attacks.
In a press release issued by the White House, it said strongly that if such attacks continue to occur, the United States will choose the appropriate way to take action in retaliation. It is worth noting that the anti-American armed groups that the United States bombed Iraq this time did not communicate with Iraq, and in a sense violated Iraq's sovereignty. Russia's TASS news agency said on December 26** that Iraq** considers the US military strikes against targets in Iraq to be a hostile act that violates Iraq's sovereignty. Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Sudani's press service said that the US attack on Iraqi military targets under the pretext of retaliatory measures was "clearly a hostile and unconstructive act" and that Washington's actions "damaged" relations between the two countries and "seriously violated Iraq's sovereignty."
