In response to a recent drone attack on an American base in Jordan, the U.S. commenced retaliatory strikes on Friday in both Iraq and Syria.
The drone strike on the Tower 22 base near Jordan's border with Iraq and Syria resulted in the tragic loss of three U.S. service members, with numerous others wounded, New York Post reported.
The U.S. government attributes the drone attack to Iran-backed militants and accuses Iran of financing and arming these groups, a CNN report said. In contrast, Iran vehemently denies any involvement in the strike.
