The air strike is a response to the missile attack on US targets in Iraq and was of limited dimensions, it is possible that there would be no escalation, Reuters reports. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights announced that 17 pro-Iranian fighters were killed in those attacks.
"Three trucks of ammunition were destroyed in the attacks (...) Many were killed," said the director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdul Rahman.
"On the orders of President Biden, the U.S. military carried out airstrikes earlier tonight on infrastructure used by militant groups backed by Iran in eastern Syria," Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said.
He stated that Biden would act in order to protect American and coalition soldiers. "At the same time, we acted in a certain way with the goal of de-escalating the overall situation in eastern Syria and Iraq," Kirby added.
He said the attacks destroyed many facilities at the border checkpoint used by pro-Iranian groups such as Kata'ib Hezbollah and Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS), an Iranian-backed, Iraqi Shiite militant group.

I have news for you, Eastern Syria is on the border of Iraq and is several hundred miles from the Mediterranean. It is so like you to call the kettle black.

just read the US strikes in Syria have killed many Russian forces. Thus far, Putin has done nothing to save face, as he still is in hiding from the virus as well as the vaccine jab.

But I thought Gedžas were telling us that Russkies are in Syria to protect them with their S400?
I wonder what the 'S' in S400 stands for?

Is it possible you’re getting stupider by the day?
The Syrian army is no way near the site that was bombed by the US. That entire region is controlled by the US to “protect” the Syrian oil reserves.
The Russkies are in eastern Syria on the Mediterranean not on the border of Syria and Iraq. Maybe you need to get a world atlas, or if you live in the US that would account for your backwardness.

Sounds like a proportional strike in a location that sends a clear message and yet doesn't put pressure on the Iraqi government. It's a good tactical move on Biden's part, as far as political moves go.
At the end, I think that the American and Iranian people would like to live at peace with each other. It's too bad that the bad feelings on both sides of the political aisle haven't been overcome.

The US is back and the strikes against pro-Iranian terrorists in Syria is just a warmup for what is to happen in Serbia.
