President Biden said Friday he authorized airstrikes against Iranian-backed militia in Syria to send a message that Tehran “can’t act with impunity.”

U.S. forces on Thursday struck a location in Syria used by Iranian-backed militia groups, in response to recent rocket attacks on American forces in the region.
