America is openly supporting the Israel-Hamas war. America has also indirectly jumped into this war, on Wednesday America attacked the weapons storage center linked to Iran supporting Hamas in Eastern Syria (US Attack In Syria). For the second time in two weeks, America has targeted a place in Syria. The news of 9 people being killed in this attack has come to light. This information has been given by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. He said that in response to the attacks against American personnel, US warships struck an arms storage facility linked to Iran in eastern Syria.
America says that the weapons storage center targeted in eastern Syria is linked to Iran. It supports groups that Washington blames for an increase in attacks on its forces in the Middle East. The US is trying to prevent Iran and its proxies from turning the Israel-Hamas war into a regional war. But repeated attacks in response have increased the risk of conflict between Washington and Tehran.
“The Iranian storage facility that US military forces targeted in eastern Syria is used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and related groups,” US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement. That storage center was attacked by two American F-15 warplanes.
Austin said the attack on the Iranian storage facility was a response to attacks against American personnel in Iraq and Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said that nine people associated with Iran-backed groups in Syria were killed in Wednesday’s attack.
