US News Live Updates: US military launches retaliatory air strikes against Iran, Syria

In response to the drone strike killing three U.S. troops in Jordan, the U.S. military conducted a substantial air assault targeting multiple sites in Iraq and Syria associated with Iranian-backed militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Over 85 locations were hit, including command centers, intelligence facilities, and storage sites for rockets, missiles, drones, and ammunition.

The strikes were not directed at Iran itself or the top leaders of the Revolutionary Guard Quds Force, as the U.S. aims to prevent further escalation. President Joe Biden indicated that more actions are planned. The retaliation focused on disrupting militia and Quds Force activities in the region. The U.S. wants to avoid a direct confrontation with Iran but remains committed to addressing threats posed by Iranian-backed groups.

Despite the strikes, Iran denies involvement in the Jordan attack. The U.S. strategy seems to be targeting assets linked to militias and the Quds Force while avoiding actions that might intensify tensions with Iran directly. President Biden's statement suggests a willingness to take further measures to address security concerns in the region.
