USA is “deliberately fomenting” Middle East conflict – Russia and China make serious accusations. Russia accuses US President Biden of carrying out air strikes in the Middle East purely for image reasons.

The USA, on the other hand, defends its retaliatory strike. This was in response to the deaths of three US soldiers in a drone strike on a base in Jordan. Dozens of people were killed in the US drone strike. The US government has promised further retaliatory attacks.
