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.

“hosted on your petard“
Hoisted.
Don’t worry. I figure auto-correct did it to you.
“ Two missiles fell in the oil field, without causing damage, while the third landed on a civilian house nearby”
Key info.
To aid terrorists.
Get out of Syria today.
He’s God, not Gawd and, yes, He’s good.
Agreed.The US has utterly no business in Syria. President Trump knew this and got us out. But Biden in his very first act of war in office ordered US forces right back in.

Wow. The Russian bots here must be thrilled at the comments on this thread.
I have a question.
How would you feel if your son or daughter was killed or mangled in a sovereign country that did not invite us or want us there and where we have absolutely no business being involved??
That's right. Your child's life is wasted.
What a useless sacrifice!
For what??
“Biden ordered...”
Does Biden have the mental facilities to order something like this?
It reminds me of an old Russian history of WW II in which each paragraph about attacks against the Nazis led off with the words...”On the initiative of Stalin...”
Merely a figure of speech because I don’t think God is going to remove Biden from the White House.
humiliate the USA and Pedo Joe.
Pedo Joe is unable to feel humiliation. The US? Sure, we the people can, but not our elected officials.
How many wars do we want to keep going at one time?
