US launches retaliatory strikes on Iran-linked targets in Syria and Iraq

The US military has launched airstrikes on targets in Syria and Iraq. The Pentagon says more than 85 sites were hit.
Syrian state TV said the strikes had resulted in a number of deaths and injuries. Other images posted to social media showed a weapons depot being hit in what's thought to be Iraq. US President Joe Biden ordered the operation in response to last week's killing of three American soldiers in a drone attack on a base in Jordan. Biden attended a military ceremony where the bodies of the soldiers were returned to the US, shortly before the airstrikes began.
US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says the US response targeted sites linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, or IRGC, and militias it supports. He said more attacks could be expected.
