The United States military has conducted airstrikes on Islamic State (ISIS) targets in Syria, as confirmed by U.S. officials to Fox News.

This recent operation marks the second instance of U.S. military action against ISIS in Syria since December 19. The strikes come in response to the tragic deaths of two Iowa National Guard soldiers and their American interpreter, killed by a lone ISIS gunman.

In a related development, U.S. Special Envoy for Syria, Tom Barrack, disclosed that he recently held discussions in Damascus with Syria’s new leadership regarding the nation’s future. “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, I met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, and other officials,” Barrack stated.
