(Reuters) -The United States carried out two air strikes in Syria against Iran-aligned groups on Sunday, a U.S. defense official told Reuters, in what appeared to be the latest response to a series of attacks against American forces in Syria and in Iraq.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said one of the targets was a weapons storage facility. The other was a “command and control” facility, which would suggest a headquarters or other staffed structure.
The official said the strikes took place within the past couple of hours and said a U.S. review was underway to determine whether the strikes killed or wounded any Iran-aligned militia members.
