Joe Biden sends a ferocious warning to Iran regarding the Syria attacks
US president Joe Biden says he does not aim row with Iran but alerts of consequences as Tehran-backed forces and US personnel launch invasions.
President Joe Biden has cautioned Iran that the United States will “act forcefully” to defend Americans after the US military conducted air strikes versus Iran-backed forces in revenge for an attack in Syria.
Joe Biden and his strong words against Iran:
“Make no error: the United States does not … seek dispute with Iran, but be ready for us to act forcefully to save our people,” Biden told journalists during a visit to Canada.
Questioned whether Iran should have a higher price, Biden answered: “We’re not going to stop.” Officers said a US service member was injured in Syria on Friday in the latest tit-for-tat bang between Iran-backed armies and US personnel.
It arrives after an attack on Thursday killed an American contractor and injured five US soldiers and another contractor. Washington has declared a drone of Iranian root was used in that attack.

Two US officers, speaking anonymously, said it seemed that the defensive line on the base had fallen. One US officer told Reuters that armies on the ground had little time to respond to the drone.
Although US forces set in Syria have been bombarded with drones before, deaths are rare.
The violence could also worsen already strained connections between Washington and Tehran, as attempts to resurrect a 2015 nuclear pact between Iran and central powers stalled and with Iranian drones being used by Russia versus Ukraine.
On Thursday, the Pentagon said US F-15 planes attacked two buildings used by associations affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights observed the battle in Syria and said the US strikes killed eight pro-Iranian soldiers. Reuters was unable to verify the count independently.
