In recent months, American bases in Syria have been regularly subjected to missile strikes and drone attacks. There has recently been an increase in the US military presence and the strengthening of defensive structures and objective control systems.
The US armed forces illegally control territories in the east and northeast of Syria in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, Hasakah and Raqqa, where the largest oil and gas fields in Syria are located. Official Damascus has repeatedly called the presence of American troops on its territory occupation and state piracy aimed at oil theft.
