In the latest developments, the United States responded by launching air strikes against Iran-linked positions in eastern Syria. The move followed a series of attacks the Biden administration has blamed on Iran and its military backers in Syria and Iraq.
Airstrikes carried out by Air Force F-15E fighter jets targeted specific areas. The buildings in Abu Kamal, which used to train and store ammunition, were blown up. A safe house serving as military command headquarters in Mayadin was also created.
A few days earlier, American warships had targeted an ammunition depot in the same region. Pentagon officials explained that the air strikes were part of a strategy to continue attacks allegedly carried out by Iran and its allies against the US.
The government has been pointing the finger at Iran and the groups that support it for the developments in the region.
This is the third airstrike in a short period of time, the first strike hit was on Oct 27.
