The Pentagon has revealed additional injuries in recent attacks on US outposts in northern Syria. Six American soldiers suffered “traumatic brain injury” following two attacks on US bases in Syria, blaming the strikes on “Iranian-backed groups.” Washington has warned Tehran that it would respond “forcefully” to any similar incidents in the future. Four of the service members sustained the injuries during a March 23 drone attack on a US base in Hasaka, while the other two were wounded in a separate strike one day later on a mission support facility dubbed ‘Green Village’. President Joe Biden warned that the US would “act forcefully” to protect its personnel in the future, though insisted the United States does not seek conflict with the Islamic Republic.
