A day after US Air Force planes carried out airstrikes near the Iraq-Syria border on what the Pentagon said were facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups to enable drone strikes inside Iraq, US forces in eastern Syria came under rocket attack on Monday, June 28, with no reported injuries.
The Iraqi military has condemned the US bombings, while militia groups have urged retaliation against the US. The militias were exploiting the facilities to launch unmanned aerial vehicle strikes against US soldiers in Iraq, according to Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby. It was the administration s second military intervention in the region since Biden took office earlier this year.
