The United States on Thursday carried out an airstrike in Syria against a structure belonging to what it said were Iran-backed militia, two officials told Reuters, an apparent response to rocket attacks against U.S. targets in Iraq.
Ah right, how could I think that any connection at all would be necessary to justify an attack a few hundred miles (I assume, tbh) away from whatever happened before this.
Nah, killing Iranians is too risky. These are 'Iranian-backed Militia'. Probably Afghan, Syrian, or Iraqi. Maybe Lebanese, but unlikely.
