#1 The Pentagon has managed to cloak US military activity in and around Deir ez-Zor governorate and northeast Syria. To what extent the US retains its base there (which was under attack in late 2021-early 2022) is unclear. What benefit we derive from protecting the Omar Oil field is also unclear. The Syrian government has been perfectly aware of the US presence and actually seems to support it even though it has termed US presence in Dier, Hasakak and Raqqa “state piracy” employed to steal Syrian natural resources.
Why no reporting? I realize that American media is lazy, but is its activity in the region proscribed?

The Kurds benefit from the income of selling the oil, I believe.
