U.S. Airstrikes Kill Iranian Proxies in Syria
(Washington Post) Dan Lamothe - The Pentagon on Sunday announced a new round of airstrikes on Iranian facilities in eastern Syria linked to dozens of recent attacks targeting U.S. troops there and in Iraq. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the strikes hit a training facility near the city of [Bukamal] and a "safe house" near Mayadin. A senior U.S. defense official said the training facility was used to store weapons and that secondary explosions were observed. The safe house functioned as a headquarters for groups affiliated with the IRGC. "We continue to message to Iran that we hold them accountable for these [attacks on U.S. personnel], and that their leaders must take action to constrain the activities of the groups Iran directs, trains, and equips," the official said.
