Prepared to act 'forcefully': Biden's message for Tehran as U.S & Iran trade strikes in Syria | WION

A suspected Iranian-made drone killed a US contractor and wounded six other Americans in north-east Syria on Thursday. US forces retaliated with airstrikes on sites in Syria used by groups affiliated with Iran’s revolutionary guard. Now, the US president has warned Iran after tit-for-tat strikes. Biden said the US would respond forcefully to protect its personnel. While it’s not the first time the US and Iran have traded strikes in Syria, the attack and the US response threaten to upend efforts to de-escalate tensions across west Asia. Meanwhile, pro-Iranian forces in Syria said they have a 'long arm' to respond to further US strikes. The statement, signed by the Iranian advisory committee in Syria, said US strikes had left several fighters dead and wounded; without specifying their nationality. #us #iran #joebiden About Channel: WION The World is One News examines global issues with in-depth analysis.
