US military operations in Syria meant to prevent future attacks -White House

U.S. military operations in Syria were meant to disrupt and prevent future attacks on American personnel in the region, White House spokesman John Kirby said on Friday.

The U.S. military carried out strikes against two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and groups it backs, the Pentagon said on Thursday, in response to a spate of attacks against U.S. forces in both Iraq and Syria.
