as posted by the channelUS forces conducted strikes on two facilities in eastern Syria it believes were used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and affiliated groups, in response to attacks on American troops in the region.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said President Joe Biden ordered the “precision self-defense” strikes following attacks since Oct. 17 that resulted in the death of one US contractor and injured 21 American personnel. Austin warned Iran and its proxies not to threaten US forces.
