The US Central Command announced that at 16:00 Eastern time, it attacked more than 85 points in the territory of Iraq and Syria.
The US military announced that “multiple aircraft, including long-range bombers that flew from the United States” were used in the attack on these positions.
According to this statement, 125 “precision weapons” were used in these attacks. Centcom claimed that “command and control operation centers, information centers, rockets and missiles, drone warehouses and logistics and ammunition supply chain facilities” were hit in these attacks.
Basic contradictions
Hours before Centcom’s statement, media sources published conflicting reports about the beginning of US attacks in eastern Syria from the late hours of Thursday evening and early Friday morning.
At around 11:20 p.m. on Friday, Tehran time, many Arab media reported on the occurrence of explosions in eastern Syria and claimed that American warplanes may have targeted the positions of resistance groups.
This speculation originated from the fact that some hours ago the American media reported that Joe Biden had authorized attacks on areas in Syria and Iraq.
Despite this, a little later, the American officials said in an interview with “Roda” that the American attacks had not yet started. A US official, however, said there was less than an hour before the attacks began.
Some media sources claimed in unconfirmed reports that the initial attacks were reported to have been carried out by Israeli warplanes, but Israeli officials did not respond to the reports.
ABC reported a little later that the US has launched its retaliatory strikes in response to the killing of three soldiers of this country at the “Tower-22” base on the border of Iraq and Syria.
