BREAKING NEWAS! Iran Powered Rockets Just Hit U.S. Base

A pair of rockets were fired at a U.S. base in northeastern Syria which is the site of an attack from Iranian-backed forces earlier this year.

“Multiple rounds of indirect fire landed in the vicinity of Green Village in northeastern Syria shortly after 9 p.m. Aug. 15, 2022, in the latest attempted attack on Coalition forces and our partners,” according to a statement from an Operation Inherent Resolve spokesperson.

The attack, according to the spokesperson, caused no injuries or damage to the base or surrounding areas, but it did endanger the local civil population and infrastructure. Forces discovered two rockets in four rocket tubes about three miles from the base after some rockets failed.

The United States maintains a presence of approximately 900 troops in Syria to assist Syrian opposition forces, many of whom are members of the United States Army Special Forces.

The attack comes just one day after multiple drones carrying explosives attacked the US-run al-Tanf base in Syria. One of the drones was shot down before it could enter the base, while another was able to fly into a building and detonate, but no one was injured.

The Green Village attack was the latest attempt on US and coalition forces at the facility, which was the site of an attack by Iranian-backed forces in January that saw eight rockets strike around the base, causing minor damage to the base and a nearby mosque.

“Thankfully on this occasion, there were no casualties and no damage reported. However, attacks like this risk both the lives of innocent civilians and important infrastructure due to their indiscriminate nature,” said Maj. Gen. John Brennan, the OIR commander. “The Coalition is proud to be a reliable partner in the efforts to maintain the lasting defeat of ISIS, and our commitment is unwavering despite these reckless actions by those responsible.”
