US, Iran Launch New Strikes; Trump Warns Ceasefire May Collapse

President Donald Trump said Saturday that “there will be very serious retaliation” after two U.S. service members and one American civilian were killed in an attack in Syria that the United States blames on the ISIS terrorist group.

“This was an ISIS attack against the U.S., and Syria, in a very dangerous part of Syria, that is not fully controlled by them,” he said in a social media post.

“There will be very serious retaliation,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

The American president told reporters at the White House that Syria's president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, was “devastated by what happened” and stressed that Syria was fighting alongside U.S. troops. Trump, in his post, said al-Sharaa was “extremely angry and disturbed by this attack.”

U.S. Central Command said three other service members were wounded in an ambush Saturday by a lone ISIS member in central Syria. Trump said the three “seem to be doing pretty well.”

Central Command said in a post on X that, as a matter of respect for the families and in accordance with Department of War policy, the identities of the service members will be withheld until 24 hours after their next of kin have been notified.

The Pentagon's chief spokesman, Sean Parnell, said the civilian killed was a U.S. interpreter. Parnell said the attack targeted soldiers involved in the ongoing counter-terrorism operations in the region and is under active investigation.

“The attack occurred as the soldiers were conducting a key leader engagement. Their mission was in support of on-going counter-ISIS / counter-terrorism operations in the region,” Parnell wrote.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the attacker was killed by partner forces.

“Let it be known, if you target Americans—anywhere in the world—you will spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you,” he wrote on X.

Traffic on the highway between Deir Ezzor and Damascus was halted in connection with the incident, and video showed US combat aircraft overhead.

“U.S. helicopters intervened to evacuate the wounded to the al-Tanf base following the shooting incident,” SANA reported. Al-Tanf is a US base in eastern Syria on the border with Iraq.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the attacker was a member of the Syrian security force.

Syria's Interior Ministry spokesman Nour al-Din al-Baba said a gunman linked to ISIS opened fire at the gate of a military post. He added that Syrian authorities are looking into whether the gunman was an ISIS member or only carried its extreme ideology. He denied reports that suggested that the attacker was a security member.

The U.S. has hundreds of troops deployed in eastern Syria as part of a coalition fighting ISIS.

The U.S. had no diplomatic relations with Syria under Assad, but ties have warmed since the fall of the five-decade Assad family rule. Al-Sharaa, made a historic visit to Washington last month where he held talks with Trump. It was the first White House visit by a Syrian head of state since the Middle Eastern country gained independence from France in 1946 and came after the U.S. lifted sanctions imposed on Syria during the Assads’ rule.

Al-Sharaa led the rebel forces that toppled Bashar Assad in December 2024 and was named the country’s interim leader in January. Al-Sharaa once had ties to al-Qaida and had a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head.

Last month, Syria joined the international coalition fighting against ISIS as Damascus improved its relations with Western countries following the ouster of Assad when insurgents captured his seat of power in Damascus.

ISIS was defeated on the battlefield in Syria in 2019, but the group’s sleeper cells still carry out deadly attacks in the country. The United Nations says the group still has between 5,000 and 7,000 fighters in Syria and Iraq.

U.S. troops, which have maintained a presence in different parts of Syria—including Al-Tanf garrison in the central province of Homs—to train other forces as part of a broad campaign against ISIS, have been targeted in the past. One of the deadliest attacks occurred in 2019 in the northern town of Manbij when a blast killed two U.S. service members and two American civilians, as well as others from Syria, while conducting a patrol.
