US Military Launches Airstrikes on ‘Iran-Aligned Sites’ in Syria, Day After Attack on Command Center
The US military has launched a series of airstrikes targeting sites in Syria associated with Iran-aligned groups, a day after an assault on America’s largest command centre in the region.
The strikes, conducted by US Central Command, were in retaliation for recent attacks on US personnel stationed in Syria.
Centcom emphasised that the action was a direct response to the escalating violence aimed at American forces, underscoring the US's commitment to protecting its troops and partners in the region.
The airstrikes, which hit multiple sites believed to be linked to Iranian-backed militias, aim to degrade the ability of these groups to plan and execute future attacks against US forces.
The US military presence in Syria, primarily focused on combating ISIS remnants, has faced increasing threats from Iran-aligned militias, complicating efforts to stabilise the region.
Centcom's statement reinforced that such attacks on US forces would not be tolerated, sending a strong message to Tehran-backed militants.
The escalation comes amid growing tensions in Syria, where Iran-backed groups maintain a significant presence, particularly in the east.
Syria’s new leadership has appointed Asaad Hassan al-Shibani as foreign minister, marking a crucial step in rebuilding international relations after the ouster of Bashar al-Assad. Led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, the government promises reconstruction and stability, but questions remain: Will HTS, formerly linked to al Qaeda, move toward democracy or enforce strict Islamic rule? As the world watches, Syria’s future hangs in the balance.

In response to the sudden fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, U.S. President Joe Biden has unveiled an aggressive strategy to secure stability in the region and counter the growing threat of ISIS. Following Assad's ousting by rebel forces, the U.S. military launched over 75 airstrikes targeting ISIS camps and key infrastructure across Syria, aiming to prevent the terrorist group from exploiting the power vacuum created by Assad's departure. Biden has emphasized the importance of combating terrorism and ensuring ISIS does not re-establish its stronghold in the region. The U.S. has also vowed to support efforts for a peaceful transition in Syria, while continuing to monitor and neutralize any emerging threats.

In a provocative and chilling statement, Iran has called for the execution of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, escalating tensions between Tehran and Tel Aviv. The Iranian government has urged its Arab allies to take action in support of this call, sending shockwaves through Israel and further stoking fears of regional instability. The statement follows a series of heightened exchanges between Israel and Iran, with both nations engaged in a bitter conflict, especially in light of Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza. Tehran has also criticized international bodies, accusing them of failing to adequately address Israel’s actions and calling for greater cooperation among pro-Palestinian countries to seek justice. With the backdrop of mounting casualties and a looming humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Iran’s call for Netanyahu’s death has added a new, dangerous dimension to the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict.

In a shocking turn of events, HTS (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani issued a chilling message targeting Iran, Israel, and the United States, signaling the possibility of all-out war if specific actions are taken. In his statement, Jolani warned of escalating violence and direct conflict if Israel continues its military operations in Syria and if the U.S. maintains its support for Syrian Kurdish forces.
