US Launches Airstrikes in Iraq and Syria

The U.S. military has carried out retaliatory strikes against more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria, largely in response to the attack that killed three U.S. service members in Jordan. The initial responses of lawmakers to President Joe Biden's decision to order the strikes have been largely divided along party lines, with Republicans criticizing the attacks while Democrats expressed support for the military moves. The strikes targeted facilities linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and the militias they support, and involved the use of more than 125 precision munitions.
