The US airstrikes launched on Iraq and Syria are meant to be retaliation for a deadly drone attack on a US military base that claimed the lives of three American soldiers.
The White House attributed the drone attack to an Iran-backed militia group, an assertion vehemently denied by Iran, which deemed the airstrikes a “strategic mistake.”
The targeted strikes, hitting 85 locations across Iraq and Syria, involved several US aircraft, including long-range bombers flying from the United States.
The operation was aimed at the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militias.
