The US military struck back late Friday at Iranian proxies in Syria and Iraq in retaliation for a drone attack last weekend that killed three US Army soldiers in Jordan, the Pentagon announced.

The strikes began a little more than an hour after the conclusion of a dignified transfer ceremony honoring the three soldiers at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.

The US strikes were preceded by a series of explosions in Syria that are not believed to have been caused by the American military. However, the Pentagon declined to comment on that matter.

Senior Biden administration officials have previously said “it will pretty be clear” when the US retaliation campaign begins, with the Pentagon and National Security Council saying Thursday it will be a multifaceted campaign.

“The first thing you see won’t be the last,” NSC spokesman John Kirby said Wednesday.
