Drones struck a convoy loaded with fuel on the Iraqi-Syrian border and destroyed part of it after it reached the outskirts of the Syrian Albu Kamal border area. US newspapers claimed the US forces were not responsible and categorised the attack as Israeli strikes. Irrespective of who actually carried out the military operation, Iran received the US-Israeli message. According to Iranian officials, it pledged to reply against Israel in one of the numerous theatres in the Middle East.
US forces are deployed in northeast Syria, robbing the gas and oil, as stated explicitly by former President Donald Trump, and are in control of the Syrian main food basket.US trucks travel from Syria to Iraq, supplying the US military bases with stolen Syrian oil and wheat. In that part of Syria, the US has established airfields that Israel has used and coordinated with in recent years to strike northern Syria. Moreover, Israel has used the US logistics to carry out attacks - confirmed by the US Ambassador in Baghdad to the Prime Minister - on targets inside Iraq during separate incidents in one of which a " Popular Mobilisation Forces" commander was killed and several warehouses destroyed.
However, the Iraqi-American agreement states and confirms that no air force has the right to use Iraqi airspace without permission from Baghdad. Despite this, the US continues to conduct unauthorised flights and cross-border movements of troops between Iraq and Syria without Baghdad's consent. Moreover, the US controls the air space, claiming this as necessary to protect its forces deployed in Iraq. Therefore, the strike came from the airspace that the US rules, and with its knowledge, because it falls within the sector of operations where American forces are on the ground and are protected by an interception missiles umbrella.
