Likewise, Israel has targeted Iran-linked targets and weapons warehouses in Syria over the past years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kirby stressed the U.S. takes threats to the American people seriously and they &#8220;know that that those groups, many of the groups that conduct those kinds of attacks, are supported, funded, resourced by the IRGC.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Stella Youssef<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The White House warned on Monday that U.S. troops face constant threat in Syria and Iraq as Iran threatens to respond to the attack on its consulate in Syria that killed senior commanders in Iran&#8217;s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
