<p>The U.S. Military conducted targeted strikes against facilities in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/syria" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Syria</a> on Thursday night that are used by Iran’s military and its terrorist proxy group.</p>
<p>The strikes come after U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria had come under attack in recent days from Islamic terrorists backed by Iran, the world&#8217;s leading state sponsor of terrorism.</p>
<p>The &#8220;U.S. military forces conducted self-defense strikes on two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups,&#8221; said Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. &#8220;These precision self-defense strikes are a response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia groups that began on October 17.&#8221;</p>
<p>The statement noted that repeated attacks from Iranian-backed terrorist proxy groups throughout the region have resulted in 21 U.S. soldiers being injured and one contractor dying from a heart attack that he suffered during an attack. Nineteen of the U.S. soldiers had been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries.</p>
<p>&#8220;The United States will not tolerate such attacks and will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;The United States does not seek conflict and has no intention nor desire to engage in further hostilities, but these Iranian-backed attacks against U.S. forces are unacceptable and must stop.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Iran wants to hide its hand and deny its role in these attacks against our forces,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;We will not let them. If attacks by Iran’s proxies against U.S. forces continue, we will not hesitate to take further necessary measures to protect our people.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;These narrowly tailored strikes in self-defense were intended solely to protect and defend U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria,&#8221; the statement concluded. &#8220;They are separate and distinct from the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, and do not constitute a shift in our approach to the Israel-Hamas conflict. We continue to urge all state and non-state entities not to take action that would escalate into a broader regional conflict.&#8221;</p>
