A salvo of rockets launched early on July 27 hit a United States military base located within the Conoco gas plant in the eastern Syrian governorate of Deir Ezzor.
“Three missiles landed in the territory of the base at Conoco, the other two in the vicinity of the base. U.S. helicopters took to the air after the shelling,” a Syrian military source told the Sputnik news agency.
Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen TV said that a U.S. strike targeted the al-Jorah neighborhood near the government-controlled Deir Ezzor city after the rocket attack. No casualties were reported as a result of the rocket attack or the American retaliatory strike.
The attack came less than 24 hours after rockets were fired at the Ain al-Asad Air Base in the western Iraqi province of al-Anbar, where U.S. forces are deployed.
Following the outbreak of the Israeli war on the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip, dozens of rockets and suicide drones targeted U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, claiming responsibility for most of these attacks.
The group suspended attacks against U.S. forces around five months ago after the death of three American troops in a drone strike on a base in Jordan, reportedly upon a request from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to facilitate talks on the withdrawal of American forces from Iraq. However, it escalated attacks against Israel.
The recent attacks on Ain al-Asad and Conoco were likely a warning by the IRI to the U.S., who has been stalling talks on winding down its military presence in Iraq and refusing all calls to pull out from Syria.
Earlier this week, a military summit was held in Washington where Iraqi and U.S. officials discussed winding down the coalition’s work. No major announcement was made at the end of the talks, though American and Iraqi sources say an announcement that it will begin to gradually wind down is likely in the coming weeks.

whats the point of these little attacks? they barely do any damage, if ever.
completely wrong! the moral damage of these attacks is immense when the us military has to be on guard 24 hours a day because one is afraid!
let’s remember the iranian drone attack on israel! iran knew that israel would liquidate a large part of the drones.
the moral effect on the israeli population (and also the israeli military) was excellent, israel did not even consider a real counter-strike!
let’s see if there comes a day of justice for these yankee mercenaries
i wouldn’t hold you breath.
the one thing russ, europe, uk, arab states, japan, india, china (indeed the asian in general), the south americas, the baltics etc, etc, have in common is that they all “lurv” the yanks – along with their dollars, bribes, weapons, kickbacks and (lack of) kulture.
gaddafi didn’t, and look what happened to him.
like hoes love de klap…right
vice, violence and venality, eh?
so many supposedly “hate” the usa, but daren’t say a word against it or its hundreds of ‘friends’ and countless bought and sold ‘agents’ (embedded in media, alt-media, governments, ngos, un, law, banks etc).
murika is simply its people and its wanabees, but that elephant in the room is still a step too far.
well, you have already recognized the problem yourself! it is the dollar, the world reserve currency.
this fucking dollar makes the usa invulnerable, because they can print as much as they want from the things and the last idiot in this world takes it from them!
the resulting inflation pays the whole world! there is already four times as much cash on the way worldwide as there is in return! so only one of 4 dollars is covered, and the trend continues to rise!
just imagine if the us would declare the dollar invalid overnight and put a new currency into circulation, like germany did 100 years ago with the “rentenmark”!
the entire world economy would collapse. only the usa decides whose credit they exchange for the “new dollar”! – however, the usa itself would be so affected by this step that it would never survive it.
only china, often mocked in the west as “the extended workbench of the world”, would have a good chance of escaping chaos.
everyone is dumping the dollar (and euro) because property rights are no longer respected. any assets held there can be stolen at the stroke of a pen by some politician or bureaucrat with no legal recourse.
everyone is dumping the dollar. china now holds $768 billion in us debt. ten years ago it was 1,300 billion. they dumped 78 billion last year alone. nobody wants worthless toilet paper $ any more.
that’s right, – but only in part!
i can buy something with a few dollars anywhere in the world, in the usa, in north korea or in uganda, with the eskimo, the aborigines or the houthis. try this with a moroccan diram, a polish zloty or a swedish krona!
the euro is most likely to do the same as the dollar, but i wouldn’t be sure about that either, in 2024 it will still be the dollar after all!
fry the thieving amerikunts.
bomb the united snakes gay forces into submission then fleeing a la afghanistan and vietnam
us illegal occupation forces must leave syria 🇸🇾 and end the oil theft. the resistance will only grow.
