Coalition Forces did not participate or strike locations in Iraq. We are monitoring reports of an incident in Jurf Al Sakhar and remain prepared to support our Iraqi partners.

[U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM]

We are aware of reports claiming that the United States conducted airstrikes in Iraq today. Those reports are not true. The United States has not conducted air strikes in Iraq today.

Today I welcomed Prime Minister Sudani to the Pentagon for the first time.  The U.S.-Iraq relationship is strong. Our two nations remain committed to working together towards a peaceful and stable region.  
Iraq continues to lead the fight against ISIS, working closely with the U.S. and Coalition partners.  I'm proud to have been a part of that fight.  Today, Prime Minister Sudani and I spoke about our efforts to address the persistent security threats to our two nations. In this context, we acknowledged the meeting of the U.S.-Iraq Higher Military Commission (HMC) Principals Day last week to discuss the transition of the @CJTFOIR mission to enduring bilateral security partnerships between Iraq and the United States and other countries of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS.

Defense of Israel Activities Update

On April 13 and the morning of April 14, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces, supported by U.S. European Command destroyers, successfully engaged and destroyed more than 80 one-way attack uncrewed aerial vehicles (OWA UAV) and at least six ballistic missiles intended to strike Israel from Iran and Yemen.

This includes a ballistic missile on its launcher vehicle and seven UAVs destroyed on the ground in Iranian-backed Houthi controlled areas of Yemen prior to their launch.

Iran's continued unprecedented, malign, and reckless behavior endangers regional stability and the safety of U.S. and coalition forces.

CENTCOM remains postured to support Israel’s defense against these dangerous actions by Iran. We will continue to work with all our regional partners to increase regional security.

[Operation Inherent Resolve @CJTFOIR]

Yesterday marked the first meeting of the Principals in the Higher Military Commission process. The progress made so far will continue through further meetings of the HMC; enabling the transition of the Coalition forces' mission in Iraq and promoting security and stability.

Fruitful exchange today with DoD Under Secretary Sasha Baker.

We have common concerns: terrorism, ISIS and shared aspirations for regional stability.

We also exchanged notes to secure more meaningful support for the Peshmerga.

See our timely new @WashInstitute #MilitiaSpotlight piece on the target of tonight's US strike and how his group KH has reacted so far (i.e., with restraint) - Baqr al-Saeedi: Kataib Hezbollah Terrorist, Serving PMF Official - https://t.co/bP5ka8spff

[Michael Knights @Mikeknightsiraq]

So, who was US-designated terrorist movement Kataib Hezbollah's Abu Baqir al-Saeedi who was just killed in Baghdad alongside a deputy and drivers? He was a very bad man: here's a tour through some moments we tracked at @WashInstitute Militia Spotlight. 🧵

CENTCOM Statement on U.S. Strikes in Iraq and Syria

At 4:00 p.m. (EST) Feb. 02, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted airstrikes in Iraq and Syria against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militia groups. U.S. military forces struck more than 85 targets, with numerous aircraft to include long-range bombers flown from United States. The airstrikes employed more than 125 precision munitions. The facilities that were struck included command and control operations centers, intelligence centers, rockets, and missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicle storages, and logistics and munition supply chain facilities of militia groups and their IRGC sponsors who facilitated attacks against U.S. and Coalition forces.

[Charles Lister @Charles_Lister]

MAJOR news — 3 U.S. soldiers killed & 25 injured in an #Iran-directed attack on a base on the #Syria-#Jordan border.

A huge escalation, and what everyone’s worried about since the first attack on October 18.

[U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM]

Today, in response to these continuing threats and attacks, the United States announced the designation of Ansarallah, also known as the Houthis, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist - Jake Sullivan, U.S. National Security Advisor
