Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWASHINGTON — The United States military carried out new strikes against two sites in Iraq early this morning in retaliation for attacks by “Iran and Iran-backed groups,” US Central Command says.
US forces “conducted discrete, precision strikes against two facilities in Iraq,” CENTCOM says on X, previously Twitter.
“The strikes were in direct response to the attacks against US and Coalition forces by Iran and Iran-backed groups,” the post adds, and come the day after a previous US air strike killed multiple Iranian-backed militiamen in Iraq.
