Tehran, IRNA – The US-occupied military base in the Conoco gas field in Syria’s Deir ez-Zur province has been reportedly targeted with rockets, hours after US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it had hit the positions of Iraq’s Islamic Resistance movement.

The Al-Mayadeen news network reported on Wednesday that the position of the American forces was targeted in a “heavy rocket attack.”

Local media also reported that an explosion was heard at the American military base in eastern Syria.

Earlier in the day, CENTCOM announced via its X social network that it had targeted the Islamic Resistance’s positions in response to attacks including the recent ones on Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq’s western province of Anbar.

“These attacks targeted depots, rocket and missile training facilities, drone facilities, and the resistance group’s headquarters,” the statement said.

Iraqi media reported earlier that the US attacked the positions of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has carried out more than a hundred attacks using rockets against US bases and facilities in Iraq and Syria in retaliation for the US support of the Israeli regime’s bloody war on the Gaza Strip.
