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.

I have an idea. Let’s send US planes out their and stand toe to toe with the Russians. (sarc)
Can't blame this one on Trump. Military disobeyed direct orders to withdraw. Number of repercussions for mutiny against the Commander in Chief? 0
Good thing Trump had control of his military.
AND Gas prices jumped 20 cents here today!!! Someone pi$$e$ in the middle east and gas prices jump.
The only threat that needs to be neutralized in Syria is our presence.
Freakin’ Biden. Weak ass moron.
It IS Obama!!
It IS Obama!!
They disobeyed order?
The response should be logarithmic.
Remember when the left said Trump would start WWIII.
All Of Them says the neocons
Well.. Iran and Russia are ultra-partners in their war against Ukraine, the West in general and especially America. Russia is giving Iran high-tech weaponry knowledge and useful incentives to accelerate Iran’s nuclear program.
Ir return Iran is giving Russia massive shipments of drones. That way Russia can continue hitting Ukrainian civilian power-plants. It’s team work :
Sovietism and islamism in bed together, in sweet harmony...
I think deep state would like WWIII to be fought in North America
I think that’s the plan.
Biden has turned us into the punching bag of the World.
Trump did not remove the troops from Al-Tanf base.
Heh - I was reading through this thread wondering how long it'd be until someone mentioned that...
Given the direction of many on here these days, I expect to read outright support for Isis or Iran pretty soon...
Thanks to the likes of John Bolton, CENTCOM, Israel, Jordan, and others.
