“No deaths from attack on Iran-related site”: US disputes accusation made by Syrian Observatory

According to the Pentagon, the US does not presently think that its hit on a Syrian weapons storage facility connected to Iran caused any lives. This was said on Thursday.

The previous day, two US airplanes attacked the location in Syria’s Deir Ezzor province in an operation that US authorities said was in retaliation for strikes on the nation’s soldiers in the Middle East.

“At this moment, we are not determining whether any casualties occurred,” Sabrina Singh, the deputy press secretary for the Pentagon, said reporters.

This evaluation runs counter to a report released the day before by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor, which claimed that nine members of organizations supported by Iran were killed in the hit.

On October 26, the US military also struck two locations in Syria that it said were used by Iran and its allies. It was determined that no one was hurt in either attack.

Since October 17, there have been 46 assaults against US personnel in Iraq and Syria, according to Singh. Four of those attacks occurred after the strike on Wednesday, which was intended to discourage such activities.

She said that 56 persons had suffered minor injuries as a result of the assaults.

Although the United States is working to prevent Iran and its allies from inciting a regional war out of the fighting between Israel and Hamas, Washington and Tehran might clash as a result of the repeated assaults and strikes in retaliation.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas, which started on October 7 when the Palestinian terrorist organization launched a surprise cross-border incursion from Gaza that resulted in the deaths of more than 1,400 people, is connected to the spike in attacks against US soldiers in recent weeks.

The health ministry of the territory reports that over 10,800 Palestinians have died as a result of Israel’s military’s ceaseless air, ground, and naval assault on Gaza.

another 900 American soldiers are in Syria and another 2,500 in Iraq as part of the campaign to stop the Islamic State organization from rising again.

The jihadists had previously controlled a sizable portion of both nations, but after a violent, protracted battle, local ground troops with the help of foreign airstrikes drove them out.
