“It is our true policy to steer clear of entangling alliances with any portion of the foreign world.”
-George Washington
(Zerohedge) The US has just confirmed it conducted a second round of major airstrikes in Syria since the Gaza war began, which the Pentagon has described as retaliation for a recent series of attacks by "Iran-linked" militias against US troops in the country's east:
U.S. fighter jets conducted “a self-defense strike” at a weapons storage facility in Syria that was being used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday.
The strike in eastern Syria was carried out at President Joe Biden’s direction, Austin said in a statement.
“This precision self-defense strike is a response to a series of attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by IRGC-Quds Force affiliates,” Austin said.
At this point the Pentagon has cited that 46 US service members have been injured over the past month of attacks inside Iraq and Syria, most with 'traumatic brain injuries'.
