These strikes were authorized in response to recent attacks against American and Coalition personnel in Iraq, and to ongoing threats to those personnel. Specifically, the strikes destroyed multiple facilities located at a border control point used by a number of Iranian-backed militant groups, including Kait\u2019ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kait\u2019ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All well and good, but is seems Joe&#8217;s handlers neglected to mention any of this to the heir-apparent, and she is not pleased. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Kamala Harris was not informed prior to the Syrian bombing and is very upset about being left out of the loop, per WH official<br \/>\n\u2014 Jack Posobiec ??
