The United States has carried out targeted strikes on facilities associated with Iran-allied militias, following a severe attack earlier this week that wounded three American soldiers. This represents one of the most consequential assaults on U.S. forces within Iraq and Syria, according to both Pentagon and White House sources.

Responding to this critical situation, U.S. forces undertook necessary and well-measured strikes directed toward sites associated with the Iran-aligned Kataib Hezbollah group, the perpetrators behind the assault on Erbil Air Base in Iraq. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin shared these details in an official communication to the daily news agency.

Despite over 100 asserted attacks on U.S. and coalition installations in Iraq and Syria from October 17 upwards, according to the Associated Press, this incident was the first to inflict harmful injuries on American servicemen. This event might hint at an intensification in regional tensions. President Joe Biden was hastily informed about the serious drone strike early on Monday and called upon the Defense Department for suggestions on how to react against the groups involved.

President Biden went into a detailed and intensive discussing schedule during a Monday afternoon call with the Defense Secretary and members of his national security team. During this crucial conversation, the President ordered strikes against three specific locations that were being used by Kataib Hezbollah and its associated entities for unmanned drone operations. This order came directly from the White House.
