Washington: US forces have carried out strikes against Iran-associated targets and Syria in response to attacks on US personnel, the Central Command (CENTCOM) of the Defense Department said on Tuesday.
“Today, U.S. CENTCOM forces conducted strikes against nine targets in two locations associated with Iranian groups in Syria in response to several attacks on US personnel in Syria over the last 24 hours,” CENTCOM said in a statement.
The strikes are expected to “degrade” the groups’ ability to plan and conduct operations against the forces of the US and its allies in the region, the military added.
