U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted precision strikes against nine targets associated with Iranian-backed militias in northeastern Syria. The strikes were a direct response to multiple attacks on U.S. personnel in the region over the past 24 hours. General Kurilla emphasized that attacks on U.S. and coalition partners will not be tolerated. The targeted locations were linked to groups supported by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), with footage showing an A-10C aircraft involved in the strikes.
