The US military carries out multiple air strikes in Syria against Iran-aligned groups who it blamed for a deadly drone attack on a US-led coalition base that left a contractor dead.
In recent months, Russia has begun using Iranian drones in its attacks on sites across Ukraine as part of its war on Kyiv.
The attack and the US response threaten to up-end recent efforts in the region to de-escalate tensions, as Saudi Arabia and Iran have been working toward reopening embassies in each other's countries. There was no immediate reaction from Iran over the strikes, which come during the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
