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.
A deadly attack on the largest U.S. military command post in Syria has sent shockwaves through the region. Multiple rockets were fired at the base located at the al-Omar Oilfield in Dayr al-Zawr, Syria, triggering a series of powerful explosions. The assault marks a significant escalation in tensions between U.S. forces and regional resistance groups. While the full extent of the damage remains unclear, sources report widespread destruction at the command post, a key U.S. operational hub in Syria. The attack follows a pattern of increasing resistance strikes against American positions in the country and comes amid growing geopolitical volatility in the Middle East.

In a stunning admission, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed that he authorized the deadly pager and radio bombings in Lebanon and Syria on September 17, 2024, which killed dozens and injured thousands.

In a dramatic shift in U.S. foreign policy, President-elect Donald Trump is poised to ramp up pressure on Iran, with plans to tighten sanctions and choke off Tehran's vital oil revenue. Sources close to Trump’s transition team revealed that his administration will implement aggressive measures aimed at isolating Iran economically, focusing particularly on halting its oil exports. The move could escalate tensions in the already volatile Middle East, as Trump seeks to target key financial lifelines and further isolate Tehran on the global stage. This bold strategy mirrors his “maximum pressure” campaign from his previous term, signalling a hardline stance that could have significant geopolitical ramifications.
