In a recent interaction, United States Senator Lindsey Graham, hailing from South Carolina, persistently called upon Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to clarify the potential retaliation to an attack instigated by Iranian proxies that resulted in an American casualty.

However, a concrete response was not provided. The assaults on U.S. ground by Iran-supported factions in Iraq and Syria have escalated, tallying up to a minimum of 24 instances since the 17th of October.

On the previous Friday, the U.S. launched a counter-offensive, directing bombings at two facilities in the eastern region of Syria. These establishments were host to the Iranian proxy militias and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Tehran. Nevertheless, such action has not brought about a decline in the threat to U.S. service members.

Approximately 2,500 U.S. troops are stationed in Iraq, with an added 900 in Syria, as reported by the Reuters. Their assignment involves extending support to local ally militias in their relentless struggle against the terrorist outfit known as the Islamic State.
