‘US doesn’t seek conflict, but…’ Biden threatens Iran after attack in Syria

Live Mint  

A US military base in Northeast Syria was attacked by Iranian proxy forces, with seven rockets targeting the base. Investigations are ongoing, but two US officials have stated that the main air defence system at the base was "not fully operational" at the time of the attack. In response to the drone attack, the US conducted retaliatory strikes on sites affiliated with Iranian proxy forces, reportedly killing eight Iranians. US President Joe Biden sought to alleviate fears of escalating tensions between the US and militant groups, stating that the US does not seek conflict with Iran.
