Iran-backed fighters fired three missiles at US military base at Al-Omar oil field
US killed 11 militants in strikes after Iranian drone strike killed American
***********************************************************
The Iran-backed groups targeted the US base at the Al-Omar oil field in Syria's northeast with a missile attack at around 11am on Friday morning.
Two missiles fell in the oil field, without causing damage, while the third landed on a civilian house nearby, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. It was unclear whether the strikes had caused any casualties.
The militants launched the strikes just hours after President Biden ordered the U.S. Central Command forces to launch 'precision airstrikes' against facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, killing 11 pro-Iran fighters.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Thursday's retaliatory airstrikes against the IRGC, a wing of the Iranian military which is blacklisted as a terrorist group by the US, were carried out by F-15 fighter jets. White House national security spokesman John Kirby said today the strikes were aimed at protecting American personnel in Syria.
This decision was in response to an earlier Iranian suicide drone killed a US contractor and injured five service members, as well as another American contractor at a maintenance facility on a Coalition base near al-Hasakah in northeast Syria.

Why are we in Syria again? What is America’s vital national interest in Syria?
To keep the inept bumbler and his mounting failures (and that is being nice) off the front page.
Opening salvos and volley!
Lions, Bears, Eagles, ....
It’s another Oil occupation. Pathetic!

Stealing oil, protecting ISIS, various other Deep State /CIA crap.
And 90% of other countries as enemies.
Amateur Hour, every day.
George Washington’s farewell address: Avoid foreign entanglements. Face it the alien Islamic nations bitterly resent mostly white, Christian Americans and Europeans interfering in their affairs. there is no strategic reason to do so. They will continue to drill oil and deliver it to America because they need the money to buy goods that they cannot produce themselves. Time to come home and leave them to their fate.
The next year and a half we will see the world on fire...........
Send them a strongly worded letter, too.
What in the world are we doing in the Syrian oil fields? I thought Asyad is supposed to be our enemy. We left Afghanistan after accomplishing nothing, next it will be Syria.
We “need” to keep Russia out of Syrian ports so Biden can claim his sanctions are working.
So we’ll hit them again. And again. We spent ten years de-radicalizing Iraq’s foreign policy and just finished eight years of Whack-a-Mole with ISIS.
> And the one Country not on your list grows more powerful. <
I didn’t notice that, but by golly you are right. Good catch.
Uh, The enemy isn’t them, it is us. US.
Hey, send 400 billion bucks to Tehran and ask them pretty please…
