A  U.S. contractor was killed and five U.S. service members and one U.S. contractor were wounded Thursday when a suicide drone hit a Coalition base near Hasakah in northeast Syria just before 2 p.m. local time, the Pentagon said in a statement. The intelligence community believes the drone to have been of Iranian origin, according to the statement. The U.S. retaliated with air strikes on Iranian-linked targets in the area.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said, “At the direction of President Biden, I authorized U.S. Central Command forces to conduct precision airstrikes tonight in eastern Syria against facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).”

Stealing oil, shipping it across the border into Iraq.

No confirmation by "fact-checked" media yet but there are multiple reports of as many as 20 missiles hitting several US bases in Syria, and multiple Strato-tankers taking off from Iraq.  Looks like the IRGC is about to get tested.

Iraq has its own oil, why he/she/they need more?

I've seen some pretty wild, unsupported stories originate from that source and I still haven't found any other corroborating reports on this situation.  IF this kind of action is underway, I think it would be difficult to refuse to report it.  Hopefully, that site is full of it, again.

Bring it on, we'll have something to discuss about.

No other source online is reporting this information, I suppose we will have to wait and see!

Here's the US on the verge of fighting in the South China Sea (Taiwan), Ukraine (possible), Iran and NKorea (also possible), and we need troops in Syria??

A country's autonomy means nothing to the Washington wags, they think they own the world and the various countries rent from the US. Jeebis

Wake up America, we are in Syria illegally!

Hopefully their not fully of it, for months you have been saying that Iran needs to be taken out, well I agree with you.

it fascinates me when I see the word 'illegal' used in topics of this nature:

who determines what's illegal & what's not?

I think if anything like this was accurate, there'd be no way, after this much time, for regular media to ignore it.  So.. Hal Turner goes into the same box as the "Debka File".  Sensationalist BS

At least you tried to add something, most members don’t even do that.

Thanks I appreciate it!

3 Stratotankers isn't real big news. The RAF has been flying a tanker and a couple of EUFI's along the Jordanian/Syrian border almost daily for over a month. There is always spook planes and tankers flying in northern Iraq near the Syrian border. You want unusual here is unusual.

The French in Iraq. LOL Landing as I post this.

[Buzz_Light_Year]

Like I mentioned in the previous post here are 2 EUFI's and a tanker returning from their daily patrol along the Syrian border. They also have been flying a sub hunter between Cyprus and Tartus Syria where the Russian naval base is.
