America is being opposed in Syria and Iraq
This attack by America has worked to reduce the power of Iranian-backed armed groups to attack American citizens settled in Iraq and Syria. Many of their weapons and ammunition were destroyed in this attack. In fact, there has been opposition to America’s military presence in Middle East countries like Syria and Iraq. American bases have been targeted since the Israeli war. Be it Hezbollah or Yemen’s Houthis, they have become a headache for America because of Iran’s support.
