President Joe Biden says US is not seeking conflict with Iran, after Washington carried out strikes on Tehran-linked groups in Syria following a deadly drone attack
Washington does not seek conflict with Tehran, President Biden says, but warns the country and its proxies should be prepared for US"to act forcefully to protect our people."President Joe Biden has said the United States is not seeking conflict with Tehran, after Washington carried out strikes on what it said were Iran-linked groups in Syria in retaliation for a deadly drone attack.
In response, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Thursday that, at Biden's direction, he had ordered the "precision air strikes tonight in eastern Syria against facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps". There were no injuries or damages to facilities at the base, but one rocket struck a home around five kilometres away, causing minor wounds to two women and two children, CENTCOM said.
The statement, signed by the Iranian Advisory Committee in Syria, said US strikes had left several fighters dead and wounded, without specifying their nationality.
