In an effort to "protect and defend U.S. personnel," the U.S. military said it carried out airstrikes in Syria targeting areas used by militias backed by Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
"Today's strikes were necessary to protect and defend U.S. personnel. The United States took proportionate, deliberate action intended to limit the risk of escalation and minimize the risk of casualties," spokesman Army Colonel Joe Buccino said in a statement.
The spokesman said the strikes were carried out in response to an attack on August 15 that targeted U.S. forces. Drones allegedly launched by Iranian-backed militias targeted a compound used by U.S. forces. No casualties were reported.
