The U.S. military announced yesterday (12th) that the U.S. military conducted an airstrike targeting Iran and its affiliates.
The Ministry of Defense explained on this day, “In response to ongoing attacks on US troops stationed in Iraq and Syria, US forces today carried out precision strikes on facilities in eastern Syria used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran-linked organizations.”
He added that this airstrike targeted a training center near the city of Abu Kamal and a safe house near the city of Mayadin.
The specific number of casualties has not yet been confirmed.
The Department of Defense emphasized that “nothing is more important than the safety of the American people” to the President of the United States, and that today’s actions were taken at the direction of the President to make it clear that the U.S. government will protect the United States, its people, and its interests.
CNN reported that this airstrike, which was carried out late this day local time, was in response to the recent continued rocket and drone attacks on U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Syria by regional armed groups supported by Iran.
