The United States strike on weapons and ammunition facilities in Syria on Friday marked a "very light response" to the attacks on U.S. forces by Iranian-backed militia entities, retired U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt tells Newsmax.
According to the Pentagon, President Joe Biden ordered strikes on the two facilities used by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and militia groups that it backs. The military also warned that the United States will take further measures if the attacks by Iranian proxies continue. "Does this tell Iran you're going to stop that right now, and then they abide by it?" said Holt. "I am also concerned about our homeland security. Do cells get activated, as a result of this?"
However, it remains a question about whether the United States will continue to apply pressure to Israel to pull the assault back, Holt noted."There's $70 billion that they have invested into either turning the other way, while oil sales happen … $6 billion for five hostages, and now, we're worried about 220," he added.
