"The strikes were both necessary to address the threat and appropriately limited in scope," Kirby said.

"President Joe Biden ordered airstrikes this weekend on Iran-backed militias near the Iraq-Syria border in response to unmanned aerial vehicle attacks, according to Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby.
"At President Biden's direction, U.S. military forces earlier this evening conducted defensive precision airstrikes against facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups in the Iraq-Syria border region -- the targets were selected because these facilities are utilized by Iran-backed militias that are engaged in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq."
Kirby said the U.S. acted within its legal rights and said the airstrikes were a matter of self-defense. The sites hit by the U.S. were determined to have had command, control and logistics capabilities, the official said. The official said it's too early to know if there were any militia or civilian casualties."
This moron is so senile he doesn't even know if his airstrikes killed anyone?? This is what happens when you let a neo-con get control of what use to be the most powerful military in the world. How is what he did legal? He didn't get approval from Congress first...he is basically committing war crimes and should be thrown in prison.
Killing terrorists is never wrong.
Iran has never been guilty of terrorism, but the US is constantly.
So you think it is right to kill people in the US?
What an absurd statement.
Did the US consistently commit acts of terrorism?
YES.
Recently, like assassinating General Soleimani.
Previously the illegal invasion of Iraq on WMD lies, with illegal attack on civilian infrastructure, with "Shock and Awe".
There has never been a country committing terrorism as often or as bad as the US.
None of that meets the requirement to be labled "terrorism". Dont respond again until you look up the actual definition.
Wrong.
Here is the definition of terrorism:
{...
the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
...}
The invasion of Iraq was totally and completely unlawful since Iraq had done nothing wrong, and we specifically attacked the civilian population with "Shock and Awe", depriving them of food, water, sanitation, and electricity, causing the death of hundreds of thousands of them.
You can't be more terrorist than that.
