According to a report from The Daily Wire, U.S. Military fighters launched an attack against Iranian-backed terrorists in Syria on Thursday after a U.S. contractor was killed and more Americans injured by a suicide drone.
U.S. intel says it was a “one-way, unmanned aerial vehicle.”
“This evening, we responded to an attack on our forces that killed an American contractor and wounded our troops and another American contractor by striking facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps,” U.S. Central Command later added. “We will always take all necessary measures to defend our people and will always respond at a time and place of our choosing.”
“We are postured for scalable options in the face of any additional Iranian attacks,” the statement continued. “The thoughts and prayers of U.S. Central Command are with the Family of our contractor killed and with our wounded servicemembers and contractor.”
From The Daily Wire:
The statement said that U.S. forces remained stationed in Syria “to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS, which benefits the security and stability of not only Syria, but the entire region.”
