US base at Koniko gas field in Syria comes under rocket fire

[RIA] The American base at the Koniko gas field in the province of Deir ez-Zor in eastern Syria came under rocket fire, a local source told RIA Novosti.

“The American base at the Koniko field in Deir ez-Zor came under rocket fire,” the agency’s source said.

According to the source, more than ten missiles were fired at the base.
That’d be the work of Iranian sockpuppets, probably the so-called Islamic Resistance in Iraq, which is really just Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces, formally subordinate to the Iraqi government but actually paid by and under orders of Iran. They were originally stood up to fight ISIS, but taking potshots at American bases is more fun and considerably less risky.
The US military has 24 military bases and four points in Syria. They have come under repeated attacks using drones and missiles. The US attacks are blamed on groups linked to Iran, and their intensification is attributed to the conflict in the Gaza Strip.

The US military illegally controls areas in eastern and northeastern Syria in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, al-Hasakah and Raqqa , where Syria's largest oil and gas fields are located. Official Damascus has repeatedly called the presence of American troops on its territory occupation and state piracy for the purpose of blatant oil theft.
