Biden notifies order to conduct 2 strikes on IRGC targets in Syria in Nov

Washington, Dec 7 (UNI) Outgoing US President Joe Biden twice ordered to conduct strikes on Syria in November to target Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facilities, according to a letter to Congress.
"I directed United States forces to conduct discrete strikes on November 11, 2024, and on November 26, 2024, against facilities in Syria used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated militia groups for headquarters and command and control, weapons storage, training, logistics support, and other purposes," Biden said in the letter to the leaders of both chambers of the US Congress.
He said the strikes followed attacks against US personnel and facilities in Syria that allegedly threatened the lives of US personnel and US-led coalition forces.
