The US carried out airstrikes targeting two facilities linked to Iranian-backed m*****as in eastern Syria on Thursday, according to a statement from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, following a series of drone and rocket attacks against US forces in the region.

The US assessed that the airstrikes against the facilities linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and affiliated groups did not result in any casualties, according to a Friday statement from Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary.

The strikes, carried out by an F-15 fighter jet and a pair of F-16 fighter jets using precision-guided munitions, targeted a weapons and ammunition storage facility in Abu Kamal near the border between Syria and Iraq. The strikes destroyed the facilities, according to Ryder.

Austin on Thursday described the strikes, which were ordered by President Joe Biden, as “narrowly tailored in self-defense” and emphasized they are separate from the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Pentagon says 900 US troops have deployed or are deploying to Middle East amid heightened tensions
October 27, 2023

Roughly 900 US troops have been deployed or are deploying to the Middle East amid heightened tensions in the region after a series of attacks on coalition bases that resulted in minor injuries for almost two dozen troops.

“These include forces that have been on prepare to deploy orders, and which are deploying from the continental United States,” Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters on Thursday. “Deployed and deploying units include a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense battery from Fort Bliss Texas, Patriot batteries from Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Patriot and Avenger batteries from Fort Liberty, North Carolina, and associated air defense headquarters elements from Fort Bliss and Fort Cavazos, Texas.”

Ryder added that the deploying units would not be going to Israel and are “intended to support regional deterrence efforts and further bolster US force protection capabilities.”
The Pentagon previously announced the deployment of the THAAD and Patriot batteries.
As the war between Israel and Hamas continues, the US is seeking to send a strong message to adversaries to prevent the conflict spreading more widely in the region.

One Year Later: How the USO Has Piv**ed to Support U.S. Troops Since Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
The United States swiftly took action, stepping up to support our democratic allies. 40,000 American troops deployed to Eastern Europe in response to the invasion, and in total, there are now approximately 100,000 American service members either deployed or permanently stationed in Europe in support of our NATO allies and the Ukrainian protection of their sovereignty and freedom.

Just a reminder considering you seem to have forgotten.. we are not at war with anyone... and have not inspired the wars you seem to be concerned with while overlooking a couple more..

Putin is the first scoundrel... and he has continued the process for years.. he will not change, he must be crushed..

the Attack on Israel is more complicated. I do not know of a single person running the terrorists..

perhaps Putin wanted and needed a distraction from his lost battle with Ukraine.. a ME flair up would be just the thing...

The Axis of Evil in the modern world is Russia, China, and Iran. All others are pawns. The West is always stupid confronting evil in the beginning. The British and French could have taken out Hitler and Mussolini in 1936, but were too weak and scared.

Today the US and the EU are weak. The modern Axis of Evil is simply taking advantage as their ideological ancestors did in the 1930s. Hamas is a pawn of Iran. The most i***tic thing Biden ever did was give Iran cash. How stupid can a President be ?
