US airstrike on weapons storage in Syria linked to Iran

In a retaliatory move against attacks targeting American personnel, the US Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, announced that the US Air Force conducted an airstrike on a weapons storage facility linked to Iran in eastern Syria on Wednesday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the attack targeted a facility in the city of Deir ez-Zor, resulting in nine casualties.

Austin stated that the US military executed the defensive strike against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and its affiliated groups, using two F-15 fighter jets to target the weapons storage facility. He further warned that the United States is fully prepared to take necessary actions to protect its military personnel and installations.
