WASHINGTON, DC.- The United States Military launched Dozens of Air Strikes against Iran-Backed Proxies in Syria and Iraq. The precision Strikes were on Command and Control Centers, Weapons and Munitions Depots, and Supply Warehouses.
"This afternoon, at my direction, US military forces struck targets at facilities in Iraq and Syria that the IRGC and affiliated militia use to attack US forces," President Biden said in a statement late Friday afternoon. "Our response began today. It will continue at times and places of our choosing," President Biden added.
In a statement from U.S. Central Command, military forces struck more than 85 targets in two countries "with numerous aircraft to include long-range bombers flown from the United States. "The air strikes employed more than 125 precision munitions, it added in the statement.
Today's air strikes come shortly after the Dignified Transfer of the Remains of the Three Soldiers who were killed while they were sleeping in their living quarters on Sunday. The one-way Iranian-made drone struck the Military Base "Tower 22" which also left over 40 Soldiers injured some critically in Northern Jordan.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition of Iran-Linked Group, claimed responsibility for Sunday's Drone Attack.
Since October 17, 2023, U.S. Military Bases throughout Syria and Iraq have come under Attack 166 times by Iran-Backed Proxies. There have also been 44 Rocket and Missle Attacks on Ships in the Red Sea by Houti Rebels based in Yemen.
As of now, it is still being determined what the next steps will be or whether the days of U.S Warnings have sent Militia Members fleeing or into hiding, making it difficult to locate and strike them. But it has become clear that a recent statement released by Hezbollah, the leading Iran-Backed Militias, saying it was suspending attacks on American Troops had no impact on the administration's plans.
