US airstrikes targeted Iranian-backed militias in Syria on Thursday, marking a retaliatory escalation following a series of rocket potshots by pro-Iranian groups at bases in Iraq housing American military personnel.

The strikes mark the first major lethal military action taken by President Joe Biden during his five weeks in office and served as a warning to Iran to back off its proxy attacks against US forces. According to multiple news reports, US military officials said “a handful” of militants died in the strikes, although the Pentagon has not released an exact number of casualties as of this article’s publication.

“Specifically, the strikes destroyed multiple facilities located at a border control point used by a number of Iranian-backed militant groups, including Kait’ib Hezbollah and Kait’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.
