According to a report by CNN, the latest statement of the United States on the recent attacks on targets in Iraq and Syria is contradictory to the past. Previously, the United States claimed that it had notified the Iraqi government before the air strike, but a spokesman for the US State Department claimed on the 5th that the action at that time had not been notified in advance, and only notified Iraq after the attack. Earlier, John Kirby, strategic coordinator of the US Security Council, said that the Iraqi government had been notified of the airstrikes before the airstrikes, and the Iraqi side accused Washington of lying. Faced with the current facts, John Kirby had to admit that his statement was "inaccurate" at the time, and apologized for the confusion and confusion it caused.

The United States retaliated with air strikes on so-called "Iranian targets" in Iraq and Syria, adding to tensions in the Middle East. On February 5, local time, at the request of Russia, the UN Security Council held an emergency meeting on this time. However, the US side still insisted that the action was necessary and in accordance with international law, and that it was exercising the "inherent right of self-defense" of the United States, and even argued that "the United States does not want all kinds of conflicts in the region while we are trying to contain and de-escalate the conflict in Gaza." This behavior of the United States in saying one thing and doing another is simply despicable.

Nearly 100,000 people have been killed or injured in the current Gaza region as a result of Israel's military operations. Protests against Israel continue to emerge, and not only Middle Eastern countries, but even Europe are quite dissatisfied with Israel's behavior. Although Israel is a regional power, it is highly dependent on external resources, and if it loses external support, I am afraid that the military operation will not last for a week. So which country has been supporting Israel all the time? The answer is the United States. Israel has previously publicly stated that since the outbreak of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States has sent more than 10,000 tons of military equipment to Israel. In addition, the economic and political support of the United States for Israel is even more incalculable.

In his speech, Ambassador Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, could not help but ask: We must find out who is creating threats, who is indiscriminately using force, and who is misleading public opinion, whether in the Middle East or elsewhere. Just because the United States has a loud voice and a big fist cannot be decided. The US says it does not seek to create a conflict, but its actions are the opposite, and the current retaliatory attack could lead to further tensions. Whether the United States wants to withdraw from the Middle East or stay in the Middle East, it must maintain a peaceful and stable environment for the people of the Middle East.
After the United States launched this round of air strikes, even the Americans could not help but lash out. According to reports, Jimmy Doerr, an American talk show host and political commentator, posted on social media to bombard the US government, and if you see the news on TV that Biden ordered retaliatory bombing of so-called Iranian targets, you are being deceived, and he even called the United States an "imperialist nightmare country". He also mentioned the U.S. invasion of Syria, which has seized land that produces wheat and oil. In short, the United States is the one that is constantly destabilizing the Middle East.

The U.S. attack also received a new response, with the Associated Press reporting a drone attack on a U.S. military base in eastern Syria's Deir ez-Zor province, killing six Kurdish militants allied with the U.S. military. Facts have proved that the US attack will only trigger new turmoil, but the US has been repeating such acts for decades, such as US support for Israel, which has led to Israel's continuous invasion of Palestinian territory, which has led to the outbreak of Palestinian-Israeli conflicts, and the spillover of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which has triggered the Red Sea crisis. The various actions of the United States are precisely the main reason for the continued instability of the situation in the Middle East.
