The United States was shaken by news of attacks on its bases in Iraq and Syria after declaring its support for Israel, which took control of Gaza. The number of attacks on American bases has increased significantly compared to what it was before October 7.
The American base was hit
In the evening, American soldiers were targeted on patrol from Mosul, Iraq. There were also reports of an attack from Erbil. An attack was carried out on the Al-Harir military base, where American soldiers are located.. The fire rising from the area where the base is located was reflected on the mobile phone camera, second by second.
Biden: We will target if we have to
On the other hand, US President Joe Biden made striking statements about the increase in attacks on American soldiers and bases in the wake of the support provided to Israel. Biden referred to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Syria and said they would be targeted if necessary.
Kirby: If the attacks continue, they will face the consequences
White House spokesman John Kirby told CNN that the US response to the attacks “sends a strong signal of deterrence.” “These groups have a choice to make,” Kirby said. “If they want to continue attacking our soldiers in Iraq and Syria, they will have to face the consequences.” He said.
