Following the deaths\u200b of three\u2064 U.S. \u200cservice members\u200d at a military base in\u2063 northeast Jordan, the\u200c U.S. carried out \u200ca series of \u2062strikes in Iraq and Syria\u200c on \u2062Feb. 2. \u2062The attack at\u200b Tower 22 left \u200bmore than 40 troops wounded, but it also resulted \u200cin the deaths and injuries of over 40 militants associated with Iranian\u200d proxy groups.<\/p>\n<p>Maj. Gen.\u200c Patrick Ryder confirmed the success of the strikes, stating,\u200c &#8220;Initial indications are that over 40 \u2062militants associated with Iranian proxy groups were killed or injured \u2062in \u200dthe US strikes against seven facilities, which included more than 85 targets that Iran\u2019s IRGC and affiliated militias have used to attack U.S. forces.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A Warning to the Militias<\/h3>\n<p>These \u200bstrikes were just the beginning of the U.S.&#8217;s response to the \u200bongoing attacks by militias against its forces. U.S. officials have made it clear that they will not hesitate to take\u200c further action to protect their \u2063troops and interests \u200din the region.<\/p>\n<p>These Iranian-backed proxies have been responsible for approximately 170 attacks \u200dagainst U.S. \u2064forces, resulting in the deaths of Sgt. \u2063William Jerome Rivers, \u2062Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, and Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett. Additionally, more than 140 service members have been wounded in these \u2063relentless assaults.<\/p>\n<p>Not stopping there, the U.S. also targeted Abu Bakr al Saadi, a commander\u200c with the Kata\u2019ib\u200b Hezbollah militia, in an airstrike in Baghdad. This group has been \u200baccused\u200c of carrying out \u2062the attack on Tower 22. However, this\u200d move has sparked anger among Iraqi officials, who accuse\u2063 the U.S. of a \u2062&#8221;blatant assassination&#8221; and disregard for civilian lives and international laws.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the backlash, the U.S. remains resolute in its commitment to protect its forces and interests. The message \u200bis clear: continued attacks will be met with\u200d swift and decisive action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u200b How did the U.S. military respond to the attack on its forces\u2064 in the Middle East,\u200b and what \u200dmessage\u200c did it send to\u2063 those responsible?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Middle East.
