BEIRUT (AP) — A strike Thursday by a suspected Iranian drone killed a U.S. contractor and wounded five American troops and another contractor in northeast Syria, the Pentagon said.
American forces said they retaliated soon after with “precision airstrikes” in Syria targeting facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, killing at least four people.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement that the American intelligence community had determined the drone was of Iranian origin. “The airstrikes were conducted in response to today’s attack as well as a series of recent attacks against coalition forces in Syria” by groups affiliated with the Revolutionary Guard.
