The US, for the second time in roughly as many weeks, carried out strikes against a weapon storage facility in eastern Syria. Pentagon said that strikes carried out on November 8 targeted facilities used by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups. The “precision self-defence strike” was in retaliation for growing number of attacks on bases housing US troops in the region, the Pentagon said. Similar airstrikes on Oct. 27 also targeted what officials said at the time were two facilities affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. US and coalition troops have been attacked at least 40 times in Iraq and Syria by Iran-backed forces since the start of October. Forty-five US troops have suffered traumatic brain injuries or minor wounds due to the attacks, Pentagon said. The “Islamic Resistance in Iraq“ has claimed many of the attacks, saying they were in response to US backing for Israel in its war on Hamas. #us #iran #syria #biden #gaza #gazawar #israel n18oc_world n18oc_crux 0:00 INTRODUCTION 1:42 US AIR FORCE JETS BOMB IRANIAN WEAPONS STORAGE DEPOTS 3:35 US BASES IN MIDDLE EAST CONTINUE TO FACE ATTACKS CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
