WASHINGTON – The US military on Friday launched airstrikes against twelve targets in Iraq and Syria of Iranian-backed paramilitary groups. US officials told the Associated Press news agency that this is the first step in a response to the drone attack that killed three US servicemen in Jordan over the weekend.

President Joe Biden and other senior US officials have warned for days that the United States would retaliate against these paramilitary groups and made it clear that it would not be just one attack, but a multi-phased response. . The officials spoke on condition of anonymity about military operations that had not yet been made public.

Initial strikes by drones and drones hit command and control centers, ammunition depots and other facilities.

They came just hours after President Biden and top military leaders joined the families of the three slain soldiers, whose bodies were returned to the United States, where they were received with a solemn ceremony at Dover Air Force Base in Dellauer.

The United States had earlier beefed up defenses at the base in Jordan that was attacked by Iran-backed militants as it prepared for this broader American response, a US official said on Friday.

Although a larger US military response seemed inevitable, some Iranian-backed factions vowed to continue attacking US forces in the Middle East. In a statement released on Friday, one of the most powerful militias in Iraq, backed by Iran, Harakat al-Nujaba, announced its plans to continue military operations against US forces, despite other allied factions calling off their attacks. them after the drone attack on Sunday in Jordan.

Some of these paramilitary groups have been a threat to US bases for years, but the groups intensified their attacks after Israel's war with Hamas following the October 7 attack on Israel. The war has killed thousands of civilians in Gaza and has spread to four other countries so far. Iran-backed militia groups across the region have used the conflict to justify striking Israeli or United States interests, including attacking civilian merchant ships and US warships with drones or missiles during near-daily activities.
