SULAIMANI – (ESTA) On Friday, the US launched massive airstrikes on 85 targets spread over seven areas in Syria and Iraq.
This marked the beginning of what is expected to be a series of larger-scale US assaults against militias backed by Iran that have attacked US forces in the Middle East.
According to the White House, the 30-minute retaliation strikes were effective. They were carried out in reaction to a drone strike on a US military station in Jordan on Sunday that left three US service personnel dead and over 40 others injured.
