US hits hard at militias in Iraq and Syria, retaliating for fatal
drone attack
The U.S. military launched an air assault on dozens of sites in Iraq
and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias and the Iranian
Revolutionary Guard Friday, in the opening salvo of retaliation for
the drone strike that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan last weekend.
The massive barrage of strikes hit more than 85 targets at seven
locations, including command and control headquarters, intelligence
centers, rockets and missiles, drone and ammunition storage sites and
other facilities that were connected to the militias or the IRGC's
Quds Force, the Guard's expeditionary unit that handles Tehran's
relationship with and arming of regional militias. And President Joe
Biden made it clear in a statement that there will be more to come.
