The US airstrikes in Syria that targeted Iran-backed fighters last week killed eight militants, the Pentagon said for the first time on Thursday.
The fighters killed were associated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) but were not Iranian, Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters.
Another six American troops were diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) as a result of the drone and rocket attacks, Ryder said.
