Word has just sprung that the United States has conducted airstrikes on two sites in eastern Syria.
Officials said the United States has conducted airstrikes which targeted two weapons and ammunition storage facilities in Syria. These airstrikes were carried out by two F-16s which utilized precision munitions (likely some fancy recent gen GBU).
This is after almost 20 assaults which began Oct. 17th which have resulted in 21 minor injuries among service members. An American contractor has died due to cardiac arrest during what has been called a false alarm event at a U.S. Base in Iraq.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was very poignant in his statement about the incident, “The United States does not seek conflict and has no intention nor desire to engage in further hostilities, but these Iranian-backed attacks against U.S. forces are unacceptable and must stop. If attacks by Iran’s proxies against U.S. Forces continue, we will not hesitate to take further measures to protect our people.”
The United States has about 900 troops in Syria, while 2,500 troops are maintained in Iraq.
The U.S.S. Carney was located somewhere in the Red Sea where it destroyed 3 cruise missiles launched by Iran-backed Houthis from Yemen.
These attacks included one way drones and rockets.
October 26th, the Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian stated to the United Nations; ” I say frankly to the American statesmen, who are now managing the genocide in Palestine, that we do not welcome (an) expansion of the ware in the region. But if the genocide in Gaza continues, they will not be spared from this fire.” The foreign minister also claims 6,000 Palestinians are in Israeli prisons.
Opinion
Well I guess it’s time for more airstrikes and bombs. We have an arrogant Foreign Minister who is for some reason emboldened as to threaten the United States which has two carrier strike groups in his neighborhood.
Hamas, which is just a legitimate terrorist organization, is continuing their fight in Gaza. Of course the people in Gaza are not allowed to leave otherwise Hamas will kill them. Keep in mind these are terrorists we are talking about. That’s all they have ever done is hide behind civilians. Only in recent times have we seen them use this heart string ploy to get people on their side. Internationally, governments should be on high alert and place everyone who is at one of these “free Palestine” protests under a watch list.
These are people who are supporting terrorist attacks on a whole other level of crazy. Israel has been dropping leaflets and information to Gaza for a while now and at this point in time if you don’t leave that’s on you. Remember that it was the Palestinians who elected Hamas into power. That alone is damning enough. But yet the world is echoing the same Hamas propaganda of a cease fire. Because they know that they are going to get steam rolled otherwise.
If a single missile or rocket launch or whatever comes from Yemen or another one of these Iran proxies then they need to start air striking every suspected military installation. Do their recon, find the targets, and take them out. Take me back to the days when someone wouldn’t just get a couple airstrikes after attacking our people, but would get their faces kicked in.
People are concerned whether WW3 has begun. It has. It just might not be what many suspected.
