US Launches Air Strikes on Iranian-backed Militias in Iraq and Syria, President Biden Issues Warning

US President Joe Biden issues a stern warning after a drone attack killed three soldiers at Tower 22, stating that any harm to Americans will be met with a “tiered response.” In retaliation, the US military launches air strikes on Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Syria, hitting over 85 targets across seven locations. The attack follows a series of incidents, including Red Sea attacks by Houthi militants and militia strikes linked to Israel’s Gaza bombing campaign. Biden emphasizes that the response will continue at chosen times and places, signaling a sustained effort. Tensions rise in the Middle East as the US prepares for potential further actions.
