US beefs up Syrian occupation bases as fears of regional conflict grow
Defense officials in Washington have expressed worry over the situation in Palestine and the threat it may pose to US forces across West Asia | Washington has provided its forces occupying Syria's northeastern Deir Ezzor and Hasakah governorates with additional equipment, Turkish media reported on 15 August, in anticipation of attacks by Syrian government forces backed by Iran. “The US provided its forces in Deir Ezzor governorate with radar systems,” Anadolu Agency (AA) said on Sunday, citing local sources. The radars aim to deter "foreign terrorist groups supported by Iran," which are responsible for several attacks this year and last year against US occupation bases and US-occupied oil fields in Syria.
