QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 <\/strong>As Iran and the US are exchanging tit-for-tat attacks in areas in north and east Syria, the US President Joe Biden pledged on Friday to “act forcefully” to protect his troops against Iranian-backed attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden, while on a visit to Canada, stressed that the US “does not seek conflict with Iran but is prepared to act forcefully to protect our people.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Thursday conducting a strike against facilities used by groups affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Syria in response<\/a> to an Iranian drone attack on a US base that resulted in casualties of the US troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Defense Secretary<\/a> Lloyd Austin said Thursday that, at Biden’s direction, he had ordered “precision air strikes tonight in eastern Syria against facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Thursday’s Iranian attack with a drone “of Iranian origin” on a base of the US-led Global Coalition in northeast Syria killed a US contractor and wounded another in addition to wounding five other service members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defense Department spokesperson Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder told reporters at the Pentagon on Friday that the operation was intended “to send a very clear message that we will take the protection of our personnel seriously, and that we will respond quickly and decisively if they are threatened.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Iranian-backed militants in an online statement signed by the Iranian Advisory Committee in Syria late on Friday said that they have a \u201clong arm\u201d to respond to further US air strikes on their positions following the US retaliatory attack that left a number of casualties of the Iranian-backed militants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
