(CNSNews.com) – In the first known such action of the Biden administration, U.S. military forces have carried out “airstrikes against infrastructure utilized by Iranian-backed militant groups in eastern Syria,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said on Thursday evening, confirming that the president authorized the strikes in response to recent attacks on U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq.
The strikes came ten days after Iraqi Shi’ite militias fired several dozen rockets at a base in Erbil housing U.S.-led coalition troops, killing a civilian contractor and injuring an American service member among others. On Monday, rockets landed in Baghdad’s Green Zone, where the U.S. Embassy and other diplomatic missions are located.

(CNSNews.com) – South Korea is negotiating an agreement to release billions of dollars of Iranian assets frozen because of U.S. sanctions, a deal widely seen as linked to Seoul’s attempts to secure the release of an ethanol tanker and crew seized by regime forces in the Strait of Hormuz early this year.
South Korea’s foreign ministry stressed Tuesday that the money would be released only after consultations with the United States.
