U.S. Launches Airstrikes Against Iranian-Backed Groups In Eastern Syria

 

CNN: US carries out airstrikes in eastern Syria targeting IRGC and Iranian-backed groups weapons storage facility 

The US military conducted an airstrike on a weapons storage facility in eastern Syria used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups, the Pentagon announced on Wednesday. 

“This precision self-defense strike is a response to a series of attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by IRGC-Quds Force affiliates,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement. “The President has no higher priority than the safety of U.S. personnel, and he directed today’s action to make clear that the United States will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests.” 

The strike was conducted by two F-15s, Austin said.

Easy target with no defenses. Flying over the Red Sea in front of an enemy that follows no Western rules of warfare. And Obama isn't going to obliterate any Iranian proxies no matter what they do.
