A suspected Iranian-affiliated drone strike in northeast Syria has killed a US contractor and wounded 5 US service members, the Pentagon said.
Five US service members and an additional US contractor were wounded in the strike.
In response, President Joe Biden authorized a precision airstrike “in eastern Syria against facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps ,” Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said in the statement. This story is breaking and will be updated.
