The Pentagon has stated that it has conducted a series of strikes on more than 85 targets in both Iraq and Syria. These strikes are part of a larger effort to deter Iran-backed militias in the region. The goal is to send a clear message to Iran that targeting American soldiers will result in swift and strong consequences.
The recent strikes targeted the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Quds Force, which are believed to be responsible for controlling these militias. By pinpointing these key entities, the United States not only responded to the killing of American service members but also made it clear that there will be consequences for those responsible.
