On February 25, 2021, the United States military carried out an airstrike on a site which it believed to have been occupied by Iranian-backed Iraqi militias operating from across the border in eastern Syria.[5][6] The unilateral operation was in retaliation for multiple rocket attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq ten days prior[7] and was the first known offensive military operation carried out under U.S. president Joe Biden.[8][9]
