Iran criticizes the US airstrikes on Iraq and Syria, labeling them a "strategic mistake" after retaliatory strikes hit 85 targets in the region. The White House attributes last week's drone attack on a US military base, which claimed three American soldiers' lives, to an Iran-backed militia group. Iraq and Syria express concerns over the consequences of the strikes on regional stability, with Iraq condemning them as a violation of sovereignty. Meanwhile, President Biden emphasizes the US's selective approach to further strikes while aiming to avoid conflict. The situation escalates amidst heightened tensions, prompting calls for a UN Security Council meeting.
