U.S. Strikes Two Iranian Facilities in Syria Following Attacks on U.S. Troops

The United States has struck two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran and its proxies in response to attacks against U.S. troops in the region, the Pentagon announced late Thursday.

President Biden ordered U.S. military forces to carry out “self-defense airstrikes” on a weapons storage facility and an ammunition storage area used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups in eastern Syria, early Friday local time, defense officials told reporters.

U.S. military forces conducted “discreet precision strikes” against the two facilities near Al Bukamal, Syria, close to the border with Iraq, using two F-16 fighter jets, the official said. They would not say where the fighter jets originated from.
