"US Retaliates with Airstrikes in Iraq and Syria After Deadly Drone Attack"

In retaliation for a deadly drone attack that killed three US troops in Jordan, the US launched airstrikes on more than 80 targets in Iraq and Syria, targeting Iran-linked militias and Tehran’s Revolutionary Guard. The strikes, involving over 125 bombs, aimed at facilities controlled by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and affiliated militia groups. Initial reports suggest at least 18 pro-Iran fighters were killed in eastern Syria, and 26 major sites housing pro-Iranian groups were destroyed. The US has no plan to bomb Iran directly, but further bombing raids are planned, raising concerns about regional instability.
