USA Fighter Jets Attack Positions in Syria

 Iran controls Syria and ships tons of munitions there.  Also much evidence over the years would suggest chemical weapons are being developed there.  So never a surprise when Israel flies into Syria and drops bombs.  But today we read that USA flew fighter jets into Syria and dropped bombs.  This is a clear message to Iran that if they continue attacking US personnel from locations in Syria, the USA will respond.  It seems the world is edging closer to WWIII.

The U.S. carried out an airstrike on a weapons warehouse in eastern Syria used by Iranian-backed militias, in retaliation for what has been a growing number of attacks on bases housing U.S. troops in the region for the past several weeks, the Pentagon said.

In Wednesday's strike, two U.S. F-15 fighter jets dropped multiple bombs on a weapons storage facility near Maysulun in Deir el-Zour that was known to be used by Iran's Revolutionary Guard, U.S. officials said.

"The President has no higher priority than the safety of U.S. personnel, and he directed today's action to make clear that the United States will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests," Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement.
