BEIRUT, Lebanon: The US strikes killed at least 18 pro-Iran fighters in eastern Syria Friday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said, giving a new toll.

“At least 18 pro-Iran fighters have been killed” in air strikes on Syria’s east, five of them in Deir Ezzor, said the monitor, after the US military said it had carried out strikes on Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and Tehran-affiliated groups in Syria and Iraq.
