Congress questions Biden's decision to bomb Syria
Some Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill are questioning the justification for the US airstrike against Iran-affiliated targets in eastern Syria.
The Biden administration’s airstrike against Iran-backed forces in Syria is facing opposition and skepticism in Congress.
On Thursday night, the US military struck positions of the Kataib Hezbollah and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada groups in Abu Kamal, in eastern Syria. The strike followed recent attacks on US forces in Iraq.
The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said he wants more information from the White House on the action.
“I am looking forward to receiving more specific information about yesterday's airstrike in Syria,” the committee said on Twitter, attributing it to panel Chairman Gregory Meeks of New York.
