In a swift response to a drone attack last weekend that claimed the lives of three American soldiers and injured several others, the United States military carried out retaliatory strikes on numerous Iranian-backed targets in both Iraq and Syria. Reports indicate that at least 125 bombs were dropped during the operation.
Late last night, the U.S. Central Command announced that they had successfully targeted 85 different locations in a bid to send a clear message to Iran and its proxies that their attacks on American forces will not be accepted. The strikes hit multiple control centers and weapons storage facilities, some directly affiliated with the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Forces, while others were connected to Iran-backed militias.
