Two US fighter jets have attacked weapons and ammunition facilities in Syria in response to attacks on US forces by Iranian-backed militias. The Pentagon warns that the US will take additional measures if Iran’s proxies continue to attack. US and coalition troops have been attacked at least 19 times in Iraq and Syria by Iran-backed forces in the past week. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said that if Israel’s offensive against Hamas did not stop, the US would not be spared from this fire. The US has sent warships and fighter aircraft to the Middle East over the last three weeks, and about 900 more US troops have arrived or are heading there to bolster air defenses for US personnel.
