America: We targeted 85 points in Iraq and Syria

According to the report of the international group of Fars news agency, the Central Command of the US Army (CENTCOM) announced in a statement that in response to the death of 3 soldiers of this country in the attack on the Burj-22 base on the border of Syria and Jordan has carried out attacks on the positions of “groups supported by Iran” in Iraq and Syria.

The headquarters of the US Central Command announced that at 16:00 Eastern time, it attacked more than 85 points in the territory of Iraq and Syria.

The US military announced that “multiple aircraft, including long-range bombers that flew from the United States” were used in the attack on these positions.

According to this statement, 125 “precision weapons” were used in these attacks. Centcom claimed that “command and control operation centers, information centers, rockets and missiles, drone warehouses and logistics and ammunition supply chain facilities” were hit in these attacks.

Primary contradictions

Hours before Centcom’s statement, media sources from late Thursday evening and early morning On Friday, they published conflicting reports about the start of US attacks in eastern Syria.

At around 23:20 on Friday night, Tehran time, many Arab media reported the occurrence of explosions in eastern Syria and claimed that American warplanes may have targeted the positions of resistance groups.

This speculation originated from the fact that some hours ago the American media reported that Joe Biden had authorized attacks on areas in Syria and Iraq.

Despite this, a little later, American officials said in an interview with “Ruda” that the American attacks have not yet started. A US official, however, said there was less than an hour before the attacks began.

Some media sources claimed in unconfirmed reports that the initial attacks reported were carried out by Israeli fighters, but Israeli officials did not respond to these reports.

The ABC network reported a little later that the United States has started its retaliatory attacks in response to the killing of three soldiers of this country at the “Tower-22” base on the border of Iraq and Syria.
