The Pentagon refutes claims of conducting airstrikes in eastern Syria, countering accusations made by Syrian and Iranian state media alleging U.S. involvement in an attack, The Hill reported.

“We did not carry out airstrikes in Syria last night,” stated Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh in response to inquiries from reporters.
