Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh held a press briefing on Tuesday and revealed that U.S. coalition forces have been attacked by Iranian-backed militia forces 66 times since October 17th
One reporter asked Singh why U.S. counterstrikes weren’t working to deter further Iranian-backed attacks.
“There have been 66 attacks by Iranian-backed militia groups on U.S. coalition forces since October 17. Why aren’t these U.S. counterstrikes working as a deterrence strategy?” The report asked Singh.
“We have days sometimes where we don’t have attacks,” Singh said.
