International Desk: US forces have carried out airstrikes on two Iranian bases in the southeastern part of Syria. This information has been confirmed by the United States. The US has carried out these attacks because of attacks by Iran-backed groups on US troops in Syria and Iraq.
This information was reported in the BBC’s live report on Monday. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the attack targeted facilities used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and groups it supports.
In a statement, he said, “A training camp and a safe house were struck near the towns of Abu Kamal and Mayadeen, respectively.” The statement added that the president has no higher priority than the safety of US personnel. He made it clear by ordering today’s action that the United States will protect itself, its workers, and its interests.
Fierce fighting has been going on between the Israeli forces and Hamas in Gaza since October 7. So far, the death toll has exceeded 12,000. More than 25 thousand people were injured. US troops are being attacked in the Middle East for allegedly assisting Israeli forces in this war.
According to the Pentagon, US troops have been attacked 46 times in the Middle East in the last three weeks. At least 56 people were injured. And to take revenge for these attacks, the US forces are carrying out a counterattack.
