US airstrikes in Syria
provoked by Israelis

Speaking to Qods News Agency about airstrikes in eastern Syria in an Irish political analyst, Dr. Declan Hayes asserted that the recent US airstrikes in Syria was provoked by Israelis.

“Biden's cabinet is full of war hawks totally in lockstep with Israel's various terrorist endeavors. Russia had issued a very stern warning to Israel about the terrorist attacks of Israel's air force against civilians, military and paramilitaries in both Lebanon and Syria. That Israel has now put the US air force in the front line is very worrying for world peace as only Russia and China can effectively combat full-on US aggression. The only positive in this is the USA is a fading economic power,” he said.

The United States on Thursday carried out airstrikes in eastern Syria against buildings belonging to what the Pentagon claimed were Iran-backed militias responsible for recent attacks against American and allied personnel in Iraq, according to The New York Times.

President Biden authorized the strikes in response to the rocketing in Iraq and to continuing threats to American and coalition personnel there, said John F. Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary.

The Irish university professor went on to say that “the American regime has made no secret of its long term plans to emasculate Iran. The USA practices only hegemony, not co-existence or mutual respect.”

“History tells us that the USA, no more than Israel, can be trusted,” Hayes stressed.

Referring to previous Israel attacks in Syria and violating, Declan Hayes also said that “Israel, as always, has set the precedent by illegally bombing Syria and Lebanon and, lest we forget, assassinating civilians in Iran and Syria. The USA now feels fully emboldened to commit more murder and other war crimes in Syria even as it tries to curtail the options Syria, Iran and other countries working for peace have.”

“The USA must learn that war crimes, such as they regularly commit, deserve commensurate punishment even at the hands of those who most desire peace with justice rather than peace at any price,” he added.
