#3  Konoko = Conoco Oil. Jerusalem Post Middle East
Rocket attack in Baghdad, Syria gas field shelled after Soleimani killing.
By TZVI JOFFRE JANUARY 5, 2020. Syrian regime forces and Iranian militias fired three shells at the Conoco gas field in the Deir Ezzor area of eastern Syria and two rockets were fired at the Green Zone where the US embassy is located on Sunday evening in the aftermath of the US airstrike that killed IRGC Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani.
Methinks that Trump will protect Konoko as long as Conoco holds some interest in the field, or, perhaps, is demanding reparations for same.

#2  Is this the oil field we’re protecting for the Syrian Kurds, so that they have an independent income to enable them to continue self-rule?

#1  American Forces strengthen its presence in Koniko gas field with armored vehicles. On Jan 5, 2020 The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned that an American military reinforcement arrived at “Koniko” gas field in Khasham Desert in rural Deir Ezzor. American Forces left al-Omar oilfield yesterday, while today they patrol in the vicinity of “Koniko” field. It is the field closest to Iranian-backed militia influence in rural Deir Ezzor.
