Biden orders an attack on pro-Iranian militias in Syria. Muscular military strategy is back

The Pentagon has confirmed that the United States has bombed pro-Iranian militia structures in eastern Syria, the same area where US troops have also been operating and have increased in numbers since President Biden's inauguration. The attacks were a response to a series of attacks recently carried out against the embassy, ​​facilities and American men in Iraq.

The Pentagon spokesman said the attacks inflicted severe damage on the infrastructure of "a number of Iranian-backed militant groups, including Kait'ib Hezbollah and Kait'ib Sayyid al Shuhad," noting that "more structures" are been destroyed. It is assumed that the attacks were conducted with the use of drones.

Unconfirmed reports from Syria spoke of explosions near Al-Bukamal, a city in the province of Deir-ez-Zor near the border with Iraq.

From the perspective of the Biden presidency, these attacks constitute an element of “de-escaltion” of the conflict in the region. In any case, there is no doubt that this is an active intervention against Iran alongside the return of new troops to eastern Syria. This is a return of "Muscular" foreign policy in the Middle East that we have already seen in progress with the previous democratic presidency and direct interventionism in various areas, especially in Syria.
