The recent strikes carried out by the United States on targets in Iraq and Syria have shed light on the locations and platforms used in the operation. The strikes targeted areas that had previously been struck by the US in November last year, as part of the weapons supply route by Iran's top military body, the IRGC.
The strategic locations hit in the recent strikes include Abu Kamal, located just across the border from Iraq into Syria on the Euphrates River. Further up the river, approximately 20 to 30 miles away, is Al-Mayadan, followed by Deir ez-Zor, also situated on the same major highway. These regions play a crucial role in the transportation of weapons along the major route from Iraq to Syria, particularly for large trucks.
