Kennedy to Biden: withdraw American troops from the Middle East

Fars News Agency International Group; “If we’re not looking for a conflict, then let’s get the troops out of there (the Middle East)”, this is the reaction of the independent candidate for the 2024 US presidential election, Robert F. Kennedy is following the contradictory statements of US President Joe Biden, who emphasized that “we are not looking for a conflict in West Asia” after the US military attacked 85 points inside Iraq and Syria this morning.

The attack that Kennedy wrote in his X message a few hours ago in response to US President Joe Biden’s message was preventable. He stated that the United States should withdraw its forces from the countries of the Middle East, adding, “They are not welcome. There is no need for them…take them out!”

Kennedy said that “if Washington had not put its forces in the crosshairs of Shiite militias, the current escalation of tension would not have been necessary”. He called the existence of these groups “the legacy of America’s illegal war in Iraq” and reminded that both Iraq and Syria have asked American forces to leave the territory of these countries.

this morning The US Army Central Command (CENTCOM) announced in a statement that in response to the killing of three of its soldiers in Sunday’s attack on the “Tower-22” base on the border of Syria and Jordan, attacks on the positions of “Iranian-backed groups” in Iraq and Syria has done it.

These attacks were accompanied by domestic criticism in the United States due to their lateness and the manner in which they were carried out, and have resulted in condemnations at the international level. ; Iraq criticized the United States for these airstrikes, saying it was a “violation of the country’s sovereignty and a threat that could lead Iraq and the region to dire consequences.” The Syrian army also called these attacks “aggression by the American occupation forces” and condemned them.
