• The US has conducted airstrikes on two weapons facilities in Syria that are used by Iran's Revolutionary Guard.

  The Pentagon confirmed two F-15 fighter jets were involved in the 'self-defense' mission as tensions are reaching boiling point in the Middle East. 

  The strike was confirmed hours after reports emerged that Iran-backed Houthi forces had shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone off the coast of Yemen. 

• US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said in a statement after the strikes that the United States remains 'fully prepared to take further necessary measures to protect our people and our facilities.' 

  The strikes are the second conducted by the US military in less than two weeks, which officials say are in retaliation to over 40 attacks by Iranian proxies against US troops in the region since Hamas' October 7 attacks.
