The White House be sayin' on Friday evenin' that the United States be not seekin' a war with Iran, matey! They be claimin' that the strikes in Syria and Iraq be meant to calm the waters and stop them scurvy attacks on our brave lads in the region.
The White House has emphasized that the United States is not seeking war with Iran, following retaliatory strikes in Syria and Iraq. The strikes were intended to de-escalate tensions and put an end to attacks on U.S. troops in the region. The retaliatory strikes targeted more than 85 locations in Iraq and Syria, focusing on Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militia groups. The strikes were in response to the deaths of three U.S. service members on a U.S. base in Jordan. White House officials stressed that the strikes were carefully selected to avoid civilian casualties and were based on evidence connecting the targets to attacks on U.S. troops. The Iraqi government was informed before the strikes. The timing of the strikes was determined by weather conditions, and officials expressed confidence in the precision of the targets. The strikes were not related to the dignified transfer of fallen troops in Dover. The goal of the strikes is to send a signal and stop the attacks on U.S. personnel. Additional response actions will be taken in the coming days. The United States does not want a war with Iran and seeks to de-escalate tensions, but will continue to respond to attacks on its troops.
