FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today, U.S. CENTCOM forces conducted strikes against nine targets in two locations associated with Iranian groups in Syria in response to several attacks on U.S. personnel in Syria over the last 24 hours.

These strikes will degrade the Iranian backed groups' ability to plan and launch future attacks on U.S. and Coalition forces who are in the region to conduct D-ISIS operations.

"Our message is clear. Attacks against U.S. and coalition partners in the region will not be tolerated," said Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, CENTCOM commander. "We will continue to take every step necessary to protect our personnel and coalition partners and respond to reckless attacks."
