The strikes targeted a training facility and a safe house near the cities of al-Bukamal and al-Mayadeen.
Shortly after the strike, Iran-backed militias targeted three US bases in Syria and Iraq.
The US also seeks to deter Iran. Iran has backed proxies in Iraq and Syria to attack US forces.
Iran released a video that looked like the US heeded its threats, but was it real?
There is no shortage of US Air Force assets and other weapons within the CENTCOM area. However, the decision to keep releasing details on these deployments is clear messaging to Iran and Russia.
The statement by the IDF did not specifically mention Iran by name, but mentioned situations where there would be conflict "at a distance."
According to CENTCOM, there are no indications that any civilians were killed in the strike.
