The United States carried out strikes on Friday in Iraq and Syria. They were carried out in retaliation for the drone attack in which three American soldiers were killed at the end of January on a base.
The American armed forces targeted the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the ideological army of the Iranian regime. At least 18 pro-Iranian fighters were killed by these strikes on eastern Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (OSDH) reported. Baghdad denounced a “violation of Iraqi sovereignty”, while the United States claimed “to have warned the Iraqi government before the strikes”
