‘Strategic error’: Iran condemns US attacks on Iraq, Syria

Iran says overnight US strikes are ‘violations of the sovereignty and territorial integrity’ of the two countries.

Iran says the attacks by the United States inside Iraq and Syria are a “strategic error” that will only add to tensions and instability in the Middle East heightened by Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.

The US forces launched a wave of air strikes against Iranian-backed fighters in Iraq and Syria on Friday in retaliation for a drone attack in Jordan that killed three American soldiers on Sunday.

US President Joe Biden later said the strikes “will continue at times and places of our choosing”.
