No responsibility has been taken yet but we all know how this tit-for-tat game goes. 20+ were killed in Biden's strike in NE Syria - and this is likely a retaliation. This was the same airbase that was hit in retaliation for Trump's assassination of Soleimani. Trump bombed Syria in late 2020 as a parting gift - and Biden has picked up right where he left off.
There really was an opportunity here to re-enter the JCPOA and resume diplomacy. I can't imagine the logic in wanting to ratchet up military conflict with Iran -- this only leads to destruction and death and a lose/lose outcome.
