The United States launched airstrikes in Syria on Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021 targeting facilities near the Iraqi border used by Iranian-backed militia groups. The Pentagon said the strikes were retaliation for a rocket attack in Iraq earlier this month that killed one civilian contractor and wounded a U.S. service member and other coalition troops.

The latest example: the Biden administration\u2019s decision to bomb Iranian assets in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>The administration claims this action was taken in response to Iranian-backed militias in Iraq. The White House green-lit a missile strike on February 15, which resulted in a civilian contractor being killed and a U.S. service member being wounded.<\/p>\n<p>While the American people deserve to know with certainty that their government knows who they are attacking with a guided missile strike, Biden\u2019s secretary of defense, Lloyd Austin, cannot confirm that they even bombed the correct target.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we\u2019re confident that that target was being used by the same Shia militias that conducted the strikes,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The defense secretary and former board member for missile developing company Raytheon said he\u2019s only \u201cconfident\u201d in the airstrike they just carried out. However, this is probably something you may want to know with absolute certainty.<\/p>\n<p>While American\u2019s across the political spectrum are upset with the Biden administration over their choice to restart bombing campaigns in the Middle East, those in favor of the airstrike include the Biden administration, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has been silent on the matter as has Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). On the other hand, critics of the strike have included Donald Trump Jr.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Day 1 at CPAC:<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump Jr. attacks President Biden for bombing Syria.
