The Pentagon announced on Aug. 23 that it conducted targeted airstrikes on Iran-backed militia in Syria in order to “protect U.S. forces” in the Middle Eastern country.

Officials said the airstrikes were ordered by President Joe Biden and conducted in Deir ez-Zor, a strategic province that borders Iraq and contains oil fields.
