The U.S. military on Thursday launched strikes against alleged Iran-backed groups in Syria in the latest attack in a rapidly escalating conflict between both sides, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed Thursday.
Hours after the Iran-backed groups fired rockets at two U.S. military installations in Syria, wounding three U.S. soldiers, officials in CENTCOM confirmed it targeted the groups with a counterattack using Apache helicopters, AC-130 gunships, and M777 artillery.
