US Shoots Down Iranian-Made Drone Over North Syria |
2023-02-16 |
[NPASyria] The US military announced on Wednesday that it had shot down an Iranian drone hovering over the Conoco oil field in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor in northern Syria, where an American military base is located. "US forces in Syria engaged and shot down an Iranian-manufactured UAV attempting to conduct reconnaissance of Mission Support Site Conoco," US Central Command (CENTCOM) tweeted. The US forces were able to finish the Iranian drone without further details, and the American army has not reported any response against the Iranian-backed bully boyz deployed west of the Euphrates River in Deir ez-Zor held by the Syrian government forces. “On February 14th, at approximately 2:30 PM local time, US forces in Syria engaged and shot down an Iranian-manufactured UAV attempting to conduct reconnaissance of Mission Support Site Conoco," read a statement from CENTCOM. Hundreds of US troops stationed in eastern Syria have fought alongside the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) against ISIS. Tit-for-tat attacks between the US and Iran ![]() Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both... playing out in Iraq and Syria have simmered down over the past year. In August, US forces launched ... KABOOM!... s targeting facilities used by Iranian-backed militias in Deir ez-Zor in an attack it said was in retaliation to an attack on a US base. Iran responded to the attack by calling on the US to leave Syria "immediately," while deeming the offensive a "violation of illusory sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity" of the war-torn country. In November, at least 15 pro-Iran fighters were killed in Deir ez-Zor on a strike targeting their convoy along the Iraqi-Syrian border, but the US denied any involvement in the strike. |
