The US has called the recent Iranian missile strike on ISIS targets in eastern Syria “reckless, unsafe and escalatory.”
According to a statement by Pentagon spokesman Cmdr. Sean Robertson quoted by VOA, Iran took no measures to notify military powers operating in Syria of the October 1 missile strike. Cmdr. Robertson stated the Iran acted not like “professional” military forces such as those of the US-led coalition and of Russia deconflicting their operations to ensure maximum safety.
The Robertron statement looks strange if one takes into account repeated US accusations against Russian forces operating in the Middle East and in Syria particularly.
