The US military
has carried out multiple airstrikes in eastern Syria in another flagrant breach of Syria’s sovereignty, killing a number of Syrian military forces.
The US military
earlier alleged that Iran
-aligned groups carried out a drone attack on a US-[ILLEGALLY] occupied base in northeastern Syria. A US contractor was killed, another was injured, and five US troops were wounded in the attack.
“At the direction of President [Joe] Biden,
I authorized US Central Command forces to conduct precision airstrikes tonight in eastern Syria against facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC),” Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin said in the statement, issued late Thursday.
However, local sources pointed out that the target was not an Iran-aligned military post as the US military claimed,
but rather a rural development center and a grain center in Hrabash neighborhood, near Dayr al-Zawr military airport.
Meanwhile, no Iranian was killed in the act of aggression.
A military source in Syria told Press TV that the resistance groups reserve their right to respond to the American
attack and will take reciprocal action.
