The recent U.S. airstrike on Iran-linked militias in Syria, launched in retribution for rocket attacks on American forces in Iraq, was not the first such attack of this administration, contrary to reports.

President Joe Biden inherited U.S. military interventions of varying scale in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen, and only in the latter has he taken limited steps to extricate the United States.

This was the first strike Biden authorized in Syria, and it demonstrates the hypocrisy, lawlessness, perversion and futility of U.S. foreign policy in the greater Middle East.
