The Trump administration carried out major strikes in the first two weeks of February.
They killed three more in a strike on drug-smuggling vessels.
The U.S. military on Friday said it carried out a strike on an alleged drug-smuggling vessel in the Caribbean, killing three — months after similar strikes caused controversy at the Defense Department.
The vessel was operated by designated terrorist organization and moved along “known narco-trafficking routs in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” U.S. Southern Command (Southcom) said in a statement shared on social platform X.
They also launched 10 strikes on ISIS targets in Syria.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted 10 strikes against more than 30 ISIS targets in Syria, Feb. 3 – 12, to sustain relentless military pressure on remnants from the terrorist network.
U.S. forces struck ISIS infrastructure and weapons storage targets with precision munitions delivered by fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aircraft.
CENTCOM forces previously conducted five strikes against an ISIS communication site, critical logistics node, and weapons storage facilities, Jan. 27 – Feb. 2.
Operation Hawkeye Strike was launched in response to a Dec. 13 attack on U.S. and Syrian forces in Palmyra. The ISIS ambush resulted in the death of two U.S. service members and an American interpreter.
More than 50 ISIS terrorists have been killed or captured and over 100 ISIS infrastructure targets have been struck with hundreds of precision munitions during two months of targeted operations.

This is what Donald Trump’s foreign policy is all about. Trump is not an isolationist and never has been. That doesn’t mean he supports Neocon foreign policy either.
It should be named common self diplomacy. Trump sends the message to the world that America and its interests are not to be messed with. In turn, we get peace.
