U.S. Airstrikes Target Weapons Facilities in Syria

The US conducted an airstrike on a weapons warehouse in eastern Syria used by Iranian-backed militias in response to a series of attacks on bases housing US troops in the region. The strike targeted facilities associated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard and aimed to disrupt and degrade the capabilities of groups responsible for attacking US forces. The US believes no civilians were killed in the strike. This is the second time in less than two weeks that the US has targeted facilities used by these militant groups. The Biden administration seeks to deter future aggression while avoiding further escalation and provoking a wider conflict in the region.
