Nine people affiliated with Iran-backed groups in Syria killed in US strikes — war monitory

Nine people affiliated with Iran-backed groups in Syria were killed on Thursday in a US strike on the eastern city of Deir Ezzor, a war monitor said.

“Nine people working for Tehran-backed groups were killed in US strikes on sites used by pro-Iran groups,” Rami Abdel Rahman, who heads the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), told AFP.

SOHR, run by a single person, has regularly been accused by Syrian war analysts of false reporting and inflating casualty numbers as well as inventing them wholesale.
