Stop the War Coalition condemns the airstrikes launched by President Biden on Syria. There is no justification for further intervention in the Middle East. The US says that the attack, which has led to multiple deaths, was aimed at Iranian backed groups operating in Syria and Iraq. It will only exacerbate existing tensions in the region.
The role of the US in Iraq has been catastrophic for the people of that country and the whole Middle East. The US still has 2,500 troops in a country they have devastated since they invaded in 2003. Biden is following in the footsteps of his predecessors despite all evidence that military interventions do nothing but create destruction and misery and the conditions for future wars.
