US reportedly carried out airstrike against Iran-backed militia in Syria

The United States has reportedly carried out an airstrike in Syria against a structure belonging to what it said were Iran-backed militia, according to multiple news outlets that cited Pentagon officials.

The strike on Thursday comes after a series of recent rocket attacks against US targets in Iraq.

The strike was approved by Joe Biden, and carried out in order to damage the group’s ability to wage future attacks, according to officials who spoke anonymously with Reuters and Politico.
