The U.S. Carries Out Airstrikes Against Iran-Backed Militia Groups
The U.S. on Sunday conducted air strikes on facilities along the Iraq-Syria border used by Iran-backed militia groups, the Pentagon announced.
“At President Biden’s direction, U.S. military forces earlier this evening conducted defensive precision airstrikes against facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups in the Iraq-Syria border region,” the Pentagon said in a statement.
The Pentagon said the strikes targeted operational and weapons storage facilities which Iran-backed militia groups Kata’ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS) used to engage in unmanned aerial vehicle attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq.
