/ Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said that American facilities in Iraq and Syria have been attacked 127 times since the escalation of the situation in the region began.
Ryder said during a press conference: “Since January 4, there have been nine attacks. In total, 127 attacks have been carried out, 52 in Iraq and 75 in Syria,” according to the Russia Today channel website.
He stated that since the beginning of the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, American forces in Iraq and Syria have been subjected to almost regular attacks with missiles and drones, and Washington believes that they are affiliated with groups loyal to Iran.
Washington deploys 2,500 military personnel in Iraq and about 900 in Syria within the framework of the so-called “International Coalition to Combat ISIS,” the formation of which was announced in 2014.
