U.S. military forces struck two bases in Syria in what the Pentagon said was a move to deter Iran-backed militias from broadening the conflict in the Middle East, while Israeli ground forces conducted an incursion into the Gaza Strip for the second consecutive day ahead of a widely-anticipated ground war.
The overnight U.S. strikes, authorized by President Biden, were the first American response to what Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said were a number of attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militias over the past two weeks. The Pentagon said the bases hit were used by such militias and described the strikes as self-defense measures separate from its military support for Israel.

In my perspective, I'M TIRED OF THE NEWS BECAUSE I ALWAYS CAPTURES THE NEGATIVE EVENTS IN LIFE.
@9GJL6HS7mos7MO
US needs to retaliate against Syrian attacks on US soldiers
@IguanaFrankieGreen7mos7MO
I'm pretty sure congress didn't vote on going to war against Iran, or anybody else for that matter.
@H0u5eBellaSocialist7mos7MO
And so it begins.
No “boots on the ground” but we are definitely involved in this war now.
@IguanaFrankieGreen7mos7MO
Just like clockwork the military-industrial complex gets their new war.
@H0u5eBellaSocialist7mos7MO
People wonder how they got drawn into Iraq.
@IndependentBobcatDemocrat7mos7MO

@9GJLR46Republican7mos7MO
I'm worried about a potential WW3
@9GJPFMH7mos7MO
I think we're just adding fuel to the fire and making everything a lot bigger than it already is.
@9GJJP6W7mos7MO
I think its good our country got a successful strike
@9GJYDX36mos6MO
I’m very worried that this will escalate tensions with Iran, and bring US troops back to the Middle East.
@9GJTZCP7mos7MO
From my perspective, I feel like Israel needs more support in this war, and the people of Israel and the other countries need to resolve this war about their land and religion.
