The US has launched strikes on 85 targets in Syria and Iraq, in response to a drone attack on a US military base that killed three soldiers.
Last Sunday, three US soldiers were killed and more than 40 personnel injured in a drone attack at a US base in Jordan.
The White House blamed Iran and vowed a “very consequential response”, while Iran has denied involvement, calling the accusations “baseless”.
Meanwhile, Iraq has warned that the strikes would bring disastrous consequences for the security and stability of the region.
