US military says strikes in Syria targeted Iranian backed groups'

General Michael Erik Kurilla emphasized that these military actions deliver a clear message: the US will not tolerate attacks against its forces or coalition partners in the region.

CENTCOM highlighted that the recent strikes targeted nine locations and aimed to degrade the operational capacity of Iranian-aligned groups in Syria, with an explicit focus on preventing future threats.

The ongoing presence of 900 US soldiers in Syria is part of a larger mission to support local forces against resurgent threats from ISIL, underlining the US commitment in the region.

Reports indicate that the recent US strikes resulted in casualties among Iranian-backed groups, highlighting the ongoing volatility and complexity of military operations in the region.
