Syria
The United States has launched strikes against Iranian targets in Iraq and Syria in response to the deadly drone attack in Jordan that killed three U.S. troops last weekend.
“My husband... said that there were two guys downstairs in uniform. And I knew. I just knew,” the mother of Breonna Moffett, one of the three U.S. soldiers killed in Jordan, said.
President Joe Biden had insisted the attack was the work of “radical Iran-backed militant groups.”
An Iranian governor said three women and four children were among the dead.
Islamabad said three girls were also hurt in the “illegal act.”
A flurry of recent attacks and counterattacks between the U.S. and Iran-linked groups threatens to unravel into an all-out crisis.
Militias backed by Tehran reportedly conducted the strikes as fury over Israel’s war spreads throughout the Middle East.
