THE US blasted a weapons warehouse in Syria being used by Iran-backed militias.

Tensions are hitting boiling point as the US and coalition troops have been attacked at least 40 times in Iraq and Syria by Iran-backed forces since the start of October.

Late on Wednesday, two US military F-15 fighter jets struck a weapons storage facility in retaliation, the Pentagon said.

Multiple bombs were dropped during the blitz near Maysulun in Deir el-Zour that was known to be used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, US officials said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said the strike killed nine people affiliated with Iran-backed groups in Syria.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin insisted the blast was in retaliation for recent attacks against American forces, which have left 45 soldiers with traumatic brain injuries or minor wounds.

He demanded blitzes against US troops stop.

Austin added: “If attacks by Iran’s proxies against US forces continue, we will not hesitate to take further necessary measures to protect our people.

“The President has no higher priority than the safety of U.S. personnel, and he directed today’s action to make clear that the United States will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests.”

It is the second time in less than two weeks that the US has bombed facilities used by the militant groups, many operating under the umbrella of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.

A military official said people were seen at the warehouse during the day as the US military watched the site for hours, but the number decreased to about “a couple” overnight when the strike occurred.

The official said the strike triggered secondary explosions, indicating the presences of weapons, but the US believes that no civilians were killed.

The strike was aimed at “disrupting and degrading the capabilities of groups directly responsible for attacking US forces in the region” by specifically targeting facilities associated with the Revolutionary Guard, a senior defense official added.

It comes amid fears the Israel-Hamas war could erupt across the whole of the Middle East.

Washington has complained that Tehran is stepping up its attacks on American targets using its regional proxies in revenge for Israel‘s bombardment of Gaza.

White House spokesman John Kirby said that Iran was “actively facilitating” the assaults and “spurring on others who may want to exploit the conflict”.

US troops were understood to be evacuating Syrian bases after being targeted by a huge wave of Iran-backed militia attacks.

A FOODIE has revealed his easy recipe for ‘come over chicken’ – and he claims it will guarantee you’re going to ‘get laid’ every week. 

Harrison Webb decided to show off his spin on the ‘marry me chicken’ craze – a creamy chicken dish which is said to be so good that your partner will pop the question when they taste it.

Introducing his unique version, the cheeky chappy explained: “This is going to get you laid!

“You’ve probably heard of ‘marry me chicken’, but have you heard of ‘come over chicken?’

“When you make this dish, you’re going to be getting that ‘come over’ text all the time.”

So what’s so good about the simple dinner – and how can you make it? 

Harrison, whose TikTok profile is @harrisonwebb97, went on to go through the recipe step-by-step.

He began by taking a small pinch of chopped parsley, two cracked eggs and a generous helping of grated parmesan. 

Once he’d seasoned the mixture with some salt and pepper, Harrison whisked it up and left it in a large ovenproof dish.

He then turned his attention to the main element – the chicken.

After drizzling some oil in a frying pan with additional butter, he dipped the chicken breast into some flour, followed by the mixture.

He said: “This is where the magic starts – place it down in the pan.”

Once golden brown on one side, he flipped it over to ensure the chicken was evenly cooked.

Harrison continued: “Once you’ve cooked the chicken for three minutes each side, leave it on a plate.

He then used the leftover juices to make a sauce. First he added some grated garlic, followed by half a cup of chicken stock, the juice of half a lemon, some butter and another small handful of parsley.

Harrison added: “Now it’s time to add the chicken back.

“Coat it in the sauce and after a few minutes, the chicken is ready.”

The only thing left to do is plate it up, before serving with plenty of the sauce – and he said it’s a guaranteed winner.

His 283.5k followers were also in agreement, as they flocked to comment on the video, which has 62k likes and counting.

One person wrote: “Looks so good! And fairly easy too. Can’t wait to try.”

As another added: “I normally don’t like chicken but that looks amazing.”
