U.S. military forces conducted strikes on facilities used by Kataib Hezbollah and affiliated groups in Iraq, the U.S. Defense Ministry said in a statement on Monday.
These strikes are a response to a series of strikes against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-sponsored militias, including an attack by Iran-affiliated Kataib Hezbollah and affiliated groups on Erbil Air Base earlier on Monday, which led to three injuries to U.S. personnel, the statement said.

Why are we still in Iraq? A one billion a year embassy cost. Why????? Enough already. Bring our troops and personnel home from all overseas destinations, all of them!!! This nonsense has to end; it is destroying our country, billions of dollars and counting. We are on the road to perdition............

Some Americans hurt today what about tomorrow?
Forget Iran for a moment the Turks upset with US support for the Kurds in Syria bombed targets in northern Iraq and Syria over the weekend.
They are linked to Kurdish groups Turkey (Türkiye) considers terrorists.
Iraq is very much a quagmire.

Tit for tat is not the way to resolve conflict. When they tat, wipe out the whole body, not just the tit.

Obama, the puppet master, knows there is a strong chance of getting his brain dead puppet reelected if there is an ongoing war at election time.
These body snatchers are master spinners of evil.

What’s needed is a Dresden or Nagasaki level treatment in Iran AND Turkey. It’s long overdue.
Islam has no place in the 21st century civilized world. ALL they want is their koranic mandate of global domination so we all can live as goat herders in the 7th century. Just think, if they get their way, we can game the camel races every Friday!!
FJB and the Obama regime in the White House who purposefully and intentionally empowered the Islamic world with cash and technology.

“U.S. forces conduct strikes on facilities in Iraq”
Outhouses are “facilities”...What were the results of these strikes?

And we’ll wait to hit back AFTER they attack us again and again and again.
Remember that powerful message from Biden to Iran…..”Don’t “
What a puss….
To: Nextrush
Strikes like this are nothing new - they have been going on for quite a while using F-35s and AC-130Js, among other weapon systems. The only thing new is this strike was dutifully picked up by the MSN to bolster Biden’s ratings.
Thing is, these are just tit-for-tat strikes and not as significant as hitting the source: Iran. But that’s Biden’s policy. Iran can wound and kill without suffering any retaliation, so Joe can get his Nuke treaty which allows Iran to possess nukes.
