US military carries out airstrikes on facilities in Syria operated by Iranian-backed forces
(Worthy News) – The U.S. military conducted airstrikes on two facilities in eastern Syria on Thursday in response to ongoing attacks against American military personnel in Iraq and Syria over the past week, according to the Department of Defense.
A pair of F-16s targeted two facilities – a weapons depot and an ammo storage area – near Abu Kamal used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and affiliated groups, a senior U.S. defense official told Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin. It’s unclear if there were any Iranian militants at the facilities when they were hit.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement Thursday night that the U.S. does not seek conflict, but the “Iranian-backed attacks” on American forces are “unacceptable and must stop.” [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
