US Strikes Again on Positions of IRGC-Linked Forces in Syria

On November 21, the US Secretary of Defense announced that the US Air Force conducted two new strikes against the targets of the Islamic Republic's proxy groups in eastern Syria on Sunday evening local time. These strikes targeted a training center and a safe house near the cities of Abu Kamal and Mayadin. The US Department of Defense stated that these attacks were in response to ongoing assaults against American personnel in Iraq and Syria. The US President previously stated that 'there is no higher priority than the safety of US personnel,' and he directed today's action to clarify that the United States will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests. These attacks are the latest US actions aimed at countering the activities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in the region. The US has repeatedly targeted positions and forces affiliated with Iran in Iraq and Syria. On November 8, the US Department of Defense also announced that in an airstrike in eastern Syria, a significant weapons facility belonging to the IRGC and Iranian-backed militias was destroyed. The November 8 attack followed the downing of an American drone by the Houthis in Yemen, who are supported by the Islamic Republic, off the coast of the Red Sea. The IRGC-affiliated militias in Iraq claimed to have attacked Eilat in Israel. CENTCOM released images of the US airstrike on the positions of Iranian proxy forces in Syria. The differences between Palestinian supporters: a comparison of the hardline positions of Turkey and the IRGC's proxy groups. The Islamic Republic once again denied any involvement in the actions of its proxy groups. The Pentagon reported four new attacks by the IRGC's proxy forces on US bases. An 'unknown' drone attacked the city of Eilat in southern Israel. The US response to the attacks by the IRGC's proxy forces included American fighter jets striking facilities linked to the IRGC in Syria.
