In a recent development, the American military base situated at the Al-Omar oil field in Deir al-Zour province, eastern Syria, came under drone attack, according to reports from the Russian news agency “Novosti,” citing an unnamed source. The assault reportedly led to three explosions within the base premises.
This incident comes on the heels of a CBS Television report, which, citing U.S. government sources, stated that the United States had greenlit plans to strike Iranian facilities and its proxies in Iraq and Syria. This decision was in retaliation to a previous attack on an American base in the Middle East.
A representative from the Iraqi “Hezbollah Brigades” had earlier declared their readiness to respond with undisclosed long-range weaponry at any time and place if the U.S. sought retribution for the deaths of three of its members at a military base in Jordan.
Media sources, quoting U.S. government officials, revealed that the drone used in an attack on an American base in Jordan last Sunday was allegedly manufactured in Iran. This attack, being one of the most severe in recent times, resulted in the deaths of three soldiers and injured forty others.
This escalating tension underscores the volatile situation in the region, with the potential for further military engagements between the U.S. and Iran-aligned forces.
