U.S. forces in attack helicopters responded to rocket attacks in Syria, destroying vehicles and equipment and killing as many as three Iran-back militants.
The United States said Wednesday that although it "does not seek conflict with Iran," it will continue to "defend" its troops against Tehran-backed militias in Syria.
Militants backed by Iran fired rockets at two coalition bases in northeast Syria on Wednesday, injuring three U.S. military personnel and triggering an American response that resulted in the destruction of the vehicles and equipment used to launch them.
