The U.S. struck back after an American contractor was killed and five U.S. service members were injured in a drone strike on a facility in northeast Syria.
“The airstrikes were conducted in response to today’s attack as well as a series of recent attacks against Coalition forces in Syria by groups affiliated with the IRGC,” Austin said. “Ashas made clear, we will take all necessary measures to defend our people and will always respond at a time and place of our choosing. No group will strike our troops with impunity.”
The Pentagon’s statement said its airstrikes were “intended to protect and defend U.S. personnel” and that its actions were “proportionate and deliberate.”, U.S. Central Command Commander General Erik Kurilla said American forces could carry out further strikes if they are attacked again. “We are postured for scalable options in the face of any additional Iranian attacks,” Kurilla said.
“The number of fatalities is expected to rise, as the strikes left several militiamen injured, some seriously, amid unconfirmed reports of more fatalities,” the SOHR said, adding that the strikes also caused “heavy material losses.”
