The United States has just ratcheted up the war by striking an Iran-linked facility in Syria. This is a retaliatory attack by the U.S. for drone and rocket attacks on U.S. forces that have continued in recent weeks.

This is the second time in as many weeks that the U.S. has carried out what it’s calling retaliatory attacks against Iran. These airstrikes were against a facility used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and its proxies in eastern Syria and took place early Thursday. This is an obvious ratcheting up retaliation for a steady stream of rocket and drone attacks against American forces in Iraq and Syria, according to a report by The New York Times.
