US fighter jets strike Iran-linked sites in Syria in retaliation for
attacks on US troops
U.S. fighter jets launched airstrikes early Friday on two locations in
eastern Syria linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Pentagon
said, in retaliation for a slew of drone and missile attacks against
U.S. bases and personnel in the region that began early last week.
The U.S. strikes reflect the Biden administration's determination to
maintain a delicate balance. The U.S. wants to hit Iranian-backed
groups suspected of targeting the U.S. as strongly as possible to
deter future aggression, possibly fueled by Israel's war against
Hamas, while also working to avoid inflaming the region and provoking
a wider conflict.
