The US carried out another set of strikes against targets affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in eastern Syria, according to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, following continued attacks on US forces in the region. Austin said the strikes were directed by President Joe Biden and targeted a training facility and a safe house near the cities of Abu Kamal and Mayadin, respectively. A defense official confirmed Sunday that militia personnel associated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were present at the facilities hit by US air strikes earlier that day. The official said it was unclear, however, how many – if any – of those personnel were killed. #CNN #News #Shorts
