to report «iusnews»; Iran's Ambassador to Damascus Hossein Akbari rejected Washington’s claims that several bases belonging to Tehran as well as the country’s military advisors were targeted in the US air raids on a number of sites in Syria and Iraq.
The diplomat said on Saturday that contrary to claims, the attacks aimed to destroy “Syria's civil infrastructure” amid the pro-Palestine actions undertaken by the resistance front.
The United States launched airstrikes in Iraq and Syria against more than 85 targets, reportedly killing nearly 40 people. President Joe Biden has stated the strikes “will continue at times and places of our choosing”.
Iran says the US attacks were “an adventurous act” and “another strategic mistake” which will have no result other than “the escalation of tension, instability and insecurity in the region.
Akbari added “the US government's terrorist” act on Friday night was carried out mainly to “make up for Israel's defeats in the Gaza Strip” and “strengthening armed Takfiri terrorists based on the borders of Iraq and Syria”.
