The U.S. has, on President Joe Biden’s direction, conducted airstrikes at two locations in Syria and one in Iraq, the Pentagon announced. The early morning “defensive precision airstrikes” were carried out on facilities along the Iraq-Syria border used by Iran-backed militias to conduct drone attacks against American personnel and facilities in Iraq, according to the Pentagon. “Several Iran-backed militia groups, including Kata'ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS), used these facilities,” a statement from Pentagon spokesperson John Kerby said.More Related News
