On January 24, 2023, an Iran-backed Iraqi militia posted footage on its Telegram channel documenting a drone attack carried by the group's operatives on Al-Tanf military base in southeastern Syria, which houses U.S. forces.

The image was captioned: "Your gifts [i.e., attacks] to us have been returned to you."
