U.S. blames group of Iran-backed militias for deadly drone attack in Jordan as it weighs reprisals
The U.S. military has reported 166 attacks on its installations since October 18, 2021, from Iran-aligned militias including Iraq’s Kataib Hezbollah. Among these, 67 occurred in Iraq, 98 in Syria, and one in Jordan. In response, the U.S. has launched several retaliatory strikes against these militias’ bases in Iraq and Syria.
