In the early hours of February 3, the U.S. military carried out airstrikes on targets in Syria and Iraq, triggering severe condemnation from Iran, Russia, Syria and Iraq. Syria noted that this action constitutes a grave violation of Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Syrian army, which was attacked by the United States in the fight against the remnants of the Islamic State, condemned it and rejected the American justification.
The Iraqi government issued a statement condemning the US military's attacks on its Qa'em area and other border areas in western Iraq. The statement pointed out that these attacks have caused serious problems and pose a serious threat to Iraq's sovereignty and have further escalated the situation in the region.
According to the spokesman of Iran, this move by the United States seriously violates the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria and Iraq, and violates international law and the UN Charter. It is strongly noted that US military action will only exacerbate tensions in the region and threaten regional and international peace.
A spokesman for Russia expressed strong opposition to the new aggression of the United States and Britain against Iraq and Syria, and believed that the intention of the United States to carry out air strikes against Iraq and Syria was to further provoke conflict. The UN Security Council will hold an impromptu public meeting on the US air strikes on targets in Syria and Iraq, which has aroused widespread concern in the international community.
