Fox News
White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended President Biden’s decision to issue an airstrike against Iranian-backed forces in Syria in retaliation for recent attacks on American service members, saying it was a "proportional military response."
"The Department of Defense briefed Congressional leadership before the action last night. The Administration has been briefing the Hill at the Member- and staff-level today," Psaki said in an official statement. "There will be a full classified briefing early next week at the latest." During a gaggle aboard Air Force One on Friday, Psaki told reporters that the strike was intended to send an "unambiguous message" about how Biden will act to protect Americans.More Related News
