Nov 11th 2023
- The U.S. launched an airstrike on a facility in eastern Syria linked to Iranian-backed militias, aiming to weaken their ability to attack American bases in the region.
- The strikes are part of the Biden administration's effort to deter future aggression from Iranian-backed groups suspected of targeting the U.S., while avoiding further escalation in the region.
- Rocket and drone attacks on U.S. troops have continued despite the strikes, raising questions about the effectiveness of deterrence measures.
