US Military Launches Airstrikes on ‘Iran-Aligned Sites’ in Syria, Day After Attack on Command Center
The US military has launched a series of airstrikes targeting sites in Syria associated with Iran-aligned groups, a day after an assault on America’s largest command centre in the region.
The strikes, conducted by US Central Command, were in retaliation for recent attacks on US personnel stationed in Syria.
Centcom emphasised that the action was a direct response to the escalating violence aimed at American forces, underscoring the US's commitment to protecting its troops and partners in the region.
The airstrikes, which hit multiple sites believed to be linked to Iranian-backed militias, aim to degrade the ability of these groups to plan and execute future attacks against US forces.
The US military presence in Syria, primarily focused on combating ISIS remnants, has faced increasing threats from Iran-aligned militias, complicating efforts to stabilise the region.
Centcom's statement reinforced that such attacks on US forces would not be tolerated, sending a strong message to Tehran-backed militants.
The escalation comes amid growing tensions in Syria, where Iran-backed groups maintain a significant presence, particularly in the east.
Rama Duwaji—artist, activist, and wife of NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani—has stepped into the spotlight after months of silence. The 27-year-old Syrian-American illustrator, known for her pro-Palestinian work, had avoided campaign publicity, sparking controversy and speculation. Critics claimed her art and political stance made her a liability.
But on June 24, as Mamdani celebrated his win, she stood beside him—silent, composed, present. Born in Texas, raised partly in Dubai, Duwaji's work explores Gaza, race, identity, and dissent. Her pieces have supported Palestinian students and questioned U.S. policies. She and Mamdani met on a dating app, married in a private ceremony, and have since become one of NYC’s most-watched political couples. Now, as Mamdani eyes City Hall, all eyes are on Rama Duwaji—the woman who may soon be NYC’s first lady.

In a stunning foreign policy pivot, Donald Trump lifts decades-old U.S. sanctions on Syria following the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Backing the new regime under Ahmed al-Sharaa—an ex-Al-Nusra figure—Trump promises economic revival, regional stability, and a “fresh start” in U.S.-Syria ties. Over 500 sanctions are lifted as the White House redefines strategy in the Middle East. Critics warn of legitimizing a controversial figure. Will this gamble reshape Syria—or haunt U.S. foreign policy?

In a dramatic twist, it was Qatar’s own air defense system—not U.S. interceptors—that initially shielded the Al‑Udeid Air Base from Iran’s multi‑warhead Ghadr‑H missiles. Seamlessly integrated and rapidly activated, Doha’s Patriot batteries detected and neutralized several incoming warheads, halting their approach before CENTCOM’s systems could fully engage. The speed and precision of Qatar’s defense network underscored the country’s strategic importance and deep coordination with U.S. forces. Experts suggest this success could reshape Gulf military dynamics and highlights Qatar’s growing role as frontline guardian amid Iran’s escalating retaliatory campaign.
