American troops attacked the positions of Shiite formations on the border of Syria and Iraq. Shiite armed formations cooperating with Iran operate here.
Attacks on Shiite positions may be related to a show of force to Iran after information spread about Tehran's preparations for war against Saudi Arabia. After these reports, the United States began to increase its military presence in the northeast of the country. An impressive reinforcement of American troops has arrived in this region, and the existing bases and positions of the US army in the region are being strengthened.
In the province of Al-Hasakah, Syrian soldiers at one of the checkpoints refused to let an American military convoy pass. This was reported by the SANA news agency, citing local informed sources.
The conflict occurred in the village of Kubur al-Garajna in the Tell Tamr district. The American military in eight vehicles followed in the area of the checkpoint. The Syrian soldiers did not let the convoy pass and forced it to leave the area.
Currently, the American armed forces, without having the appropriate permits and authority, are located on the territory of Syria. They control areas in the northeastern part of the country, in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, Al-Hasakah and Raqqa. It is here that the largest oil and gas fields in the country are located. In fact, American troops are carrying out a forceful cover for the unmasked theft of Syrian oil.
