"US Retaliatory Airstrikes Hit Dozens of Targets in Iraq and Syria in Response to Deadly Attacks"

The US military conducted airstrikes on "more than 85 targets" in Iraq and Syria, targeting Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militia groups in response to a drone attack in Jordan that killed three American service personnel. The strikes were part of a "multi-tier response" and resulted in casualties, according to reports. The US has made no attempt to disguise its belief that Iran was ultimately responsible for the attack, but President Biden has expressed a desire to avoid a wider war in the Middle East.
