Why America attacked Iraq?

The US military has targeted three hideouts of Hezbollah and its affiliates. The US has carried out these attacks in response to attacks by Iran-backed militias on US troops in Iraq and Syria. In fact, Iran-backed Hezbollah attacked Erbil Airbase on Sunday, injuring three American soldiers. A statement issued by the White House said the attack was carried out by a drone and directly blamed Iran. After this, the American President ordered an attack on Iraqi targets.

Attempted to target the US military more than 100 times

The statement issued by the United States has clearly said that if the attacks on American troops and bases continue, the United States will give a jaw-dropping response. Let us tell you that since mid-October, more than 100 attacks have been carried out targeting American forces in Iraq and Syria. Of the 102 attacks as of December 22, 47 were in Iraq and 55 in Syria. Drones, rockets, mortars and short-range ballistic missiles were also used in these attacks. However, most of the attacks did not reach the target or were shot down before reaching the target.

70 American soldiers were injured in the attack

About 70 American soldiers are reported to have minor injuries in these attacks. Israel has been conducting military operations in Gaza following the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel. In fact America is fully supporting Israel. For this reason, Hezbollah has been attacking US military bases in Israel as well as Iraq and Syria. Meanwhile, Israel has also attacked Damascus, the capital of Syria. Seyed Razi Mousavi, a senior adviser to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, was killed in Monday’s attack. Mosavi was one of the top commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard in Syria. It is obvious that America on one side and Israel on the other side are targeting Iran and its supported groups.
