US efficiency: 34 years of dropping bombs on Middle East countries

Editor's note: The US war machine driven by the central banking death cult war model to protect the petrodollar has been delivering payload after payload of munitions on Middle East countries steadily for the past 34 years (first Gulf War) and nothing has improved. This revenge attack on "Iranian assets" in Iraq and Syria (Syria has been pulverized with war and strife since 2011) makes no difference to the US even if Iran wasn't behind the attack on Tower 22 in Jordan. The poor Pentagon. Apparently, defense (war) contractors are saying "no" to their biggest customer the Pentagon as US weapon sales are at an all time high.

US Strikes in Iraq and Syria Kill About 40, Including Civilians

Biden ordered over 100 bombs dropped on dozens of targets across Iranian-linked targets in Iraq and Syria. No Iranians are reported to be among the dead

A massive US bombing campaign struck scores of targets in Iraq and Syria with over 100 bombs, leaving about 40 people dead, including civilians. President Joe Biden ordered the strikes as tensions in the Middle East are rapidly escalating.

On Friday, US Central Command announced the "military forces struck more than 85 targets, with numerous aircraft to include long-range bombers flown from United States. The airstrikes employed more than 125 precision munitions."

On Saturday, Baghdad reported that 16 Iraqis, including civilians, were killed. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claimed that the Syria strikes had killed 23 militia fighters. The Syrian Defense Ministry said militants and civilians were killed without providing a figure.

Baghdad and Damascus issued statements blasting Washington over the strikes. Last week, three American soldiers were killed in Jordan near the Syrian border with a drone. Biden vowed to respond to the deaths of the American troops by striking Iranian-linked targets in the Middle East.

The White House did not seek Congressional authorization for starting the war. Additionally, the White House admitted it could not directly link Tehran to the strike in Jordan. It does not appear that any Iranians were killed by US forces on Friday. In a separate incident, one Iranian officer was reported killed in Syria, likely by an Israeli air strike that took place before the American attack.
