The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on November 12 that it had launched strikes against an Iranian-backed faction’s weapons storage and logistics headquarters facility in Syria.
The strikes were carried out in response to a rocket attack on U.S. personnel at Patrol Base Shaddadi, the command said in a statement, noting that there was no damage to U.S. facilities and no injuries to U.S. or partner forces during the attack.
The strikes will degrade the Iranian backed groups’ ability to plan and launch future attacks on U.S. and Coalition forces who are in the region to conduct operations against ISIS, the command added.
“We have made it clear that attacks on U.S. personnel, partner forces and facilities will not be tolerated and that we retain the right to defend ourselves. U.S. Central Command, alongside our regional partners, will aggressively pursue any threat to US forces, allies, partners, and security in the region,” said General Michael Erik Kurilla, CENTCOM commander.
This was not the first wave of U.S. strikes to hit Syria this week. Just a day earlier, Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Major General Pat Ryder said that CENTCOM launched strikes against nine targets in two locations associated with Iranian-backed factions in Syria in response to two attacks at Mission Support Site Green Village.
One of those attacks involved a drone, while the second attack involved an indirect fire incident with two rockets. Ryder said that there were no U.S. injuries involved with either attack.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that recent U.S. strikes targeted sites located between the towns of al-Mayadin and al-Bukamal in the southern countryside of Deir Ezzor in eastern Syria.
The first wave of strikes on November 11 killed four Iranian-backed fighters, according to the London-based pro-opposition monitoring group, which reported the death of five more fighters in the second wave of strikes on November 12.
The U.S. maintains some 900 troops in Syria under the pretext of fighting ISIS, most of whom are deployed at key gas and oil fields in Deir Ezzor and neighboring al-Hasakah.
Patrol Base Shaddadi is located right next to a gas field near the town of al-Shaddadi in the southern al-Hasakah countryside, while Mission Support Site Green Village is located within al-Omar oil fields in the southeastern countryside of Deir Ezzor.
Attacks targeting U.S. forces in Syria and Iraq escalated after the outbreak of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip last year, with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iranian-backed factions, claiming responsibility for most of the attacks. The group didn’t however take credit for the latest attacks in Syria which came amid an Israeli escalation against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

syria is used as a doormat on the geopolitical map, and everyone rubs their muddy boots against it. americans, russkies, israelis, iran and anyone who has a hole in their ass. only chinese guys are missing but it is only a matter of time.
sounds like you are telling us about your mother 😂😂
trumps cancelled us funding to ukraine. now elon will get prince mbs to neutralise and then trump will use some business methodologies to allow iran to decide too pack up the old kit bag too .pretty soon course those other ones will try to subvert everything he does as usual .
again clear evidence that the jews are more or less finished, their defensive capabilities are close to zero and thus the poofs in washington dc are required to step in to avoid the jews being kicked to kingdom come, dug down 6 feet and palestein judenfrei! the moslem world should prepare to celebrate the demise of every friggin jew in palestine!
wakey wakey hands off snakey it’s the city that’s destroyed utterly as armaggedon .not a race or religion except satans legions , represented by their being a financial.centre of global.trade ..it’s no persons it’s a corporation under satan’s love of money a corporation kniwn as a city .that’s the revelation .
the syrian observatory for human rights is just an mi6 cutout, peddling disinformation to be parroted by the lapdog media. it is just one man living in a terraced house in coventry who has never set foot in syria for over 20 years.
he’s a mouthpiece for them who hate the truth most likely ” and all liars go to hell” the bible says .
the exceptionals are coming, are the ancient iran prepared to receive the exceptionals? are they? persia must be careful, the empire are so close to their borders. persia must survive!
the blonde haired blue-eyed aryan master race.that originated in persia .
spread to cooler climates ,scandinavia etc england’ and even i’ve read in ancient history books ,long removed from libraries closed reserves now ,by them, that the first pharaohs were them too ,almost albino ,white hair ,like the cult of white haired kids that the anti american julius asaange was trained up.in , and they the persian egyptians,the dark skinned , became also the roman.
mmmm you are fool if you believe in race superiority, it’s not about human cattle, they are in every skin color and eyes, its the human cattle. the exceptionals like to mix the races in the lower layer so they can confuse and deceit everyone and create the human cattle and use them to achieve their own purposes.
iran 85 million citizens and 1.8 million sqkm. not something you conquer in a short while. iran has the key to the jews iron dome, can close the hormuz straight in no time and spoil the world economy for the next 50 years. and basically the incessant attacks on the occupant have depleted any and most defensive weaponry the jews once had. thus they are circling the drain. yippie!
but you have the empire of the exceptionals, the masters breed and their daughter israel, they masters never fight themselves, they send their vassals and lackeys first, and also give them breath of live like they did with israel with the balfour declaration and all the trillions of us$ they put in israel (not mention the weapons, or the r&d and science). iran must be careful, they are exceptionals.
hikary got her way to.start war against iran to knock ouf russia’s best ally in the region using biden as the proxy and her, of course , just the american proxy puppet set up on the global stage imo.
where the hell is video?
