On February 19, at least three blasts rocked the United States-led coalition’s Mission Support Site Conoco in Syria’s northeastern region.
Mission Support Site Conoco is located within a large gas plant in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor. It is unknown how many of the some 900 U.S. troops present in Syria are currently deployed at the site.
Some Syrian news sources reported that Mission Support Site Conoco was attacked with several mortar shells, while others said that the explosions were the result of a live-fire exercise by the coalition. A photo that surfaced online shows a large cloud rising from the site.
A day earlier, the coalition’s Green Village base, which is located in al-Omar oil fields in the southeastern Deir Ezzor countryside, was targeted with two rockets. The attack didn’t result in losses, according to a statement by the U.S. Central Command.
The blasts in Conoco came after a series of Israeli strikes that hit targets in the Syrian capital Damascus and in nearby areas early in the morning. One of the targets was a multi-storey building located near key Iranian installations in the highly-secured Kafar Sousah neighborhood. Five people, including four civilians, were killed and 15 others were wounded as a result of the strikes.
It is possible that armed factions affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked the coalition’s site in response to the strikes.
Earlier this week, the coalition shot down an Iranian-manufactured drone over the site. After the incident, an Iranian military advisor working in Syria said that the small drone was testing American air defenses in northeastern Syria.
Lets hope it was a bigger explosion,the Syrians would be better off destroying those oil fields and burning the oil rather than allow American criminals to steal it.
I agree, Cromwell. The Yanks will likely destroy the wells when they leave Syria anyway.
Chce to kaliber. Rusko by malo niečo podniknúť v tomto smere a pomôcť Sýrii. Sýria je už príliš dlho okupovaná teroristami a zločincami z NATO a tiež darebáckym štátom USA!!! Je čas to dať do poriadku!!!
In other news Iran’s uranium enrichment has hit 84% purity. I guess they will soon get weapons grade Uranium and nuke the Israeli Psionist entity and Liberate the US from their bondage to Israel.
The US military must exit “stage right” and get the heck out of Syria. That way, they’ll have plenty of time to ruin someone else’s country. The Biden Dictatorship will give them all the instructions they need.
t is time to expel the invaders from Syria, to eradicate the Al Tanf base and return the oil resources to the Syrian people. I don’t know why they still don’t
Now would be a good time, the yanks and NATO have f all ammo
Love it. It’s starting to look like “Ohio” every day at Pentacon Inc. The Mafia “protection” racket gig is up and Slumville is smoking. Get the civil war reloaded already, humanity will send all the “humanitarian” aid it takes to burn the dumpster crispy. Z
