Damage to an Israeli merchant ship near Iran / Dr. Eyal Pinko

On Thursday evening, February 25, the United States attacked targets of the Shiite militia, which operates under Iran's auspices, using fighter jets in Syria. It was the first attack by the U.S. military under Biden's administration. The U.S. operation comes in response to an attack carried by Shiite militias on U.S. forces in Syria, and after Iran has threatened several times in recent weeks, it intends to continue Uranium enrichment and its nuclear program.
