Iranian propaganda media reported an attack on the United States Army in Syria. It concerns the American military base in the northeastern province of Hasakah.
According to preliminary information, Iranian forces opened mortar fire on the base. This is reported by the agency Mehr.
According to sources, the target of the attack is the American military base in the western province of Hasakah in Syria. It remains unknown whether U.S. military infrastructure in the area was affected. Meanwhile, it is reported that strict security measures were implemented at the main entrance following the attack.
As of 14:15, details of the incident, as well as information about who exactly carried out the attack, remain unclear. Official Tehran has not yet confirmed the shelling of the American base in Syria. At the same time, there are reports that this may be a response to recent U.S. strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran.
Although no group has claimed direct responsibility for the attack on the base in Syria, many media outlets suggest that pro-Iranian militias in Iraq and Syria, which have repeatedly carried out strikes on American forces in the Middle East in the past, may be behind it.
At this time, there are no official U.S. statements on the extent of the damage or casualties as a result of the attack on the base in Syria. However, the U.S. previously stated that their military forces in the region are on heightened alert.
