The airstrikes are the second such mission against Iranian-linked facilities in a week, the latest in a series of bombings in the last month.
American forces carried out another round of airstrikes in eastern Syria earlier today, targeting buildings used by Iranian-linked groups.
The strikes hit a training facility and safe house located near the Syrian towns of Abu Kamal and Mayadin, according to a statement by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. The two sites were used by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and groups linked to Iran, the Department of Defense said.
“The President has no higher priority than the safety of U.S. personnel, and he directed today’s action to make clear that the United States will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests,” Austin said in his statement.
