U.S. Strikes Iranian-Backed Targets in Yemen and Syria
The strikes were a response to recent attacks on American and coalition forces in the region.
- U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) conducted airstrikes against Iranian-backed Houthi targets in Yemen and militia groups in Syria over the past few days.
- The strikes in Yemen targeted Houthi weapons storage facilities used to attack international vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
- In Syria, CENTCOM hit nine targets associated with Iranian-backed militias in response to recent rocket and drone attacks on U.S. personnel.
- These military actions aim to degrade the capability of Iranian-backed groups to conduct future attacks on U.S. and coalition forces.
- No U.S. personnel were injured in the recent attacks, and the strikes underscore the U.S. commitment to defending its forces and partners in the region.
