Thanks. I had hear earlier that it happened.
I’m sure there is still a lot of sour relations since the assault on our forces in Deir Ezzor by the Assad connected forces; when they attacked both US and SDF forces near the refinery.
The true picture of what happened has never been published.
It contained some Wagner contract operators but I suspect a large number of Iranian forces too. Some say the Wagner group did not coordinate with the Russian operation officers. I suspect the Wagner forces contracted directly with the Quds commander and/or Assad. Their losses were very high. The content of Wagner Ops is disputed. Some say 250 Russian nationals dead, others say as few a a dozen Russian nationals (Wagner). My gut tells me the Iranian elements were large.
It is know that the Wagner forces have contracted with Russia, Assad and Iran. So we really don’t know.
I do think this had something to do with Turkey attacking Afrin.
