gasoline of the fire of contradictions in the middle east and what is the position of the state department. washington calls strikes on iraq and syria an act of retaliation for deaths its troops in jordan, and the main goal is to warn against further attacks on us forces in the region, but russia fears that such us attempts to flex its muscles will only lead to an escalation of the conflict in the middle east. obviously american airstrikes. specifically designed to further inflame conflicts. their targets were the positions of the armed forces of the syrian arab republic in the east of the country, mainly in the province of deres zor, where the syrian military continues to stubbornly fight against the undead isis fighters, to whom washington, contrary to his statements , actually provides patronage. almost without pause, the united states has recently been attacking targets allegedly by pro-iranian groups in iraq and syria. they are deliberately trying to drag the largest countries of the middle east into a regional conflict. the strikes, as stated in the white house, were carried out exclusively on m

earlier, i spoke to tom bateman, our state department correspondent, in washington and our middle east bachega, in baghdad. the americans are saying this is going to happen over a number of days, that they were target iranian interests and personnel in iraq and syria. no attacks inside iran, which would be a drastic decision by president biden, a dramatic escalation that could have unpredictable consequences. the americans believe that the iranian supported group called hezbollah were behind the attack and georgia. as the main group of the group called islamic resistance of iraq some forces believe a line was crossed with the attack that happened on sunday. there have been some attempts to prevent, to temper this american response. i've been told that a senior iranian commander was here in baghdad right after the attack. he had a message for this group, that they had to stop these attacks, they have to de—escalate the situation. the iranians obviously don't want direct conflict with the united states. iran seems to be trying to distance itself not only from what happened on sunday, but

knows what the white house’s actions in the middle east may lead to and what the state department’s position is. washingtonls strikes on iraq and syria an atom of retaliation for the deaths of its own troops in jordan, and the main purpose is to warn against further attacks on us forces in the region, but russia fears that such us attempts to flex its muscles will only lead to an escalation of the conflict in the middle east. it is obvious that american airstrikes are specifically designed to further inflame the conflict. their targets were the positions of the syrian armed forces. in syria and iraq, dozens of civilians were killed as a result. us aggression led to the martyrdom of 37 civilians and seriously injuring another 34 people, as well as the destruction of civilian residential buildings and a school of vehicles. this is not the only inconsistency in the statements from the white house. it turned out that washington. he even brushed off the story about coordinating strikes with the iraqi authorities. immediately after the attack, it was reported that iraq was notified in advance of the impending op
