US President Joe Biden ordered strikes twice in November to attack Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facilities in Syria, according to his letter to the US Congress.
‘I directed United States forces to conduct separate strikes on 11 November 2024 and 26 November 2024 against facilities in Syria used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and associated groups,’ the letter to the leadership of both houses of the US Congress stated.
The strikes targeted headquarters, command and control, weapons storage, training and logistical support centres, Biden noted.
He added that the strikes in November followed attacks on US personnel and facilities in Syria that threatened the lives of military personnel and US-led coalition forces.
