President Joe Biden defended the military's decision to attack two Syria-based sites reportedly used by Iran, declaring the strikes"necessary and proportionate."
"The United States took this necessary and proportionate action consistent with international law and in the exercise of the United States' inherent right of self-defense as reflected in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter," Biden wrote."The United States stands ready to take further action, as necessary and appropriate, to address further threats or attacks."
