The Pentagon announced the U.S. military carried out retaliatory strikes against an Iran-linked facility in eastern Syria after rocket and drone attacks against U.S. forces continued.
The U.S. conducted its second set of strikes within a month on Iran-linked facilities in retaliation for continuing to attack U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement that the strikes were conducted at the direction of President Biden. The strikes targeted a weapons storage facility in eastern Syria used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and affiliated groups. Two U.S. F-15s conducted the strikes.
There have been 41 attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria since Oct. 17, including on Wednesday, when a multi-rocket attack targeted U.S. forces at al-Shaddadi, in Syria. About half of the attacks occurred after Oct. 26, following the strikes the U.S. conducted against facilities linked to Iran's IRGC and Iranian-backed militias. There have been no injuries in the attacks since the first set of U.S. retaliatory strikes, but 46 service members sustained injuries in attacks between Oct.
