President Joe Biden on Thursday directed US military air strikes in eastern Syria against facilities belonging to what the Pentagon said were Iran-backed militia, in a calibrated response to rocket attacks against US targets in Iraq.

The strikes, which were first reported by Reuters, appeared to be limited in scope, potentially lowering the risk of escalation.

“At President Biden’s direction, US military forces earlier this evening conducted air strikes against infrastructure used by Iranian-backed militant groups in eastern Syria,” Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said in a statement. He added that the strikes destroyed multiple facilities at a border control point used by a number of Iranian-backed militant groups, including Kata'ib Hezbollah and Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada .
