The main goal of air strikes that were inflicted this week by the American military for Iran -related facilities in Syria is to prevent attacks against the United States and their partners, President Joe Biden said, Reuters reports.
In a letter, the speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi Biden said that he ordered strikes on Tuesday “in accordance with the obligation to protect the United States citizens both at home and abroad, as well as in the interests of the National Security and Foreign Policy of the United States” .
The US military inflicted on Thursday a blow to several targets in the Syrian city of Mayadin in the province of Deir ez-Zor, on the third day of clashes with the Right Groups, local military sources told the agency. They stated that at least three militants associated with Iran were killed as a result of the attack of an American helicopter.
The agency notes that the Right-on-Iran militants have long been trying to attack the nearby oil field al-Omar, next to which the largest Syrian base of the US Coalition led by the United States is. The military base, also known as the “Green Village”, has become a place of clashes between the American military and supported by Iran militants. On Thursday, the United States struck in this area. According to the US military, over the past 24 hours, four militants have been destroyed near the Green Village and seven missile systems were destroyed.
The blows on Wednesday were struck a day after President Biden authorized air strikes in Syria in the ammunition warehouse and other objects of groups associated with the Iranian Corps of Guardians of the Islamic Revolution (Xirir).
