In response to the attack that resulted in the deaths of three of its soldiers at its base on the Syrian-Jordanian border on January 28, the United States carried out air strikes with more than 125 precision-guided munitions on more than 85 targets belonging to Iran-linked militia groups in Iraq and Syria. It was learned that 2 people were killed and 5 people were injured at the headquarters of the Hezbollah Brigades in the Al-Sekek region of western Iraq, and 2 people were killed and 6 people were injured in the Al-Qaim region.
“This is the beginning of our response,” US Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin said in a written statement.
