US fighter jets conducted airstrikes on two locations in eastern Syria connected to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps in response to recent attacks on US bases and personnel in the region. The strikes aim to deter future aggression while avoiding further escalation. The targeted sites were chosen because they store munitions used in the attacks against the US. Syrian opposition activists confirmed the strikes, and casualties are yet to be determined. Iran-backed groups have retaliated with rocket attacks on a US base in Syria and an attempted drone attack on an airbase in Iraq.
