Israeli strikes against Iran endanger US troops, CENTCOM commander says

"I do worry about these exchanges between Iran and Israel, because many times our forces are at risk, whether in Iraq or in Syria. So that, in fact, does concern me," Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie said.

The exchange of missile strikes by Iran and Israel in Iraq and Syria puts US forces at risk, the top US commander for the Middle East said on Friday, just days after an Iranian missile barrage struck Zionist positions in northern Iraq.
 

McKenzie and other US officials said this week the missile strikes on Sunday that hit close to the consulate were not aimed at the US.

 

US and Israeli officials declined to publicly comment or describe the target. But the attack came several days after Iran said it would retaliate for an Israeli strike near Damascus, Syria, that killed two members of its Revolutionary Guard.

 

"I think it’s obvious that Israel is going to take steps to defend itself when it’s confronted with with Iranian actions. And of course, Iran is dedicated to the destruction of Israel," McKenzie said on Friday.

 

"I do worry about these exchanges between Iran and Israel, because many times our forces are at risk, whether in Iraq or in Syria. So that, in fact, does concern me."
