The Iranian foreign ministry condemned the US airstrike on Deir Ezzor that took place on Wednesday dawn, describing the attack as an act of terror.

The Iranian foreign ministry denied any links between the sites that were attacked in Syria and the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), which the US had alleged earlier.

"The new aggression of the US military on the Syrian people today is an act of terror against the local popular forces and those resisting the occupation, which are forces that are not linked to Iran," Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said.

"The US violation of the Syrian infrastructure and the Syrian people is a violation of the country's sovereignty, its independence, and the unity of its land. We strongly condemn it," he added.

The US occupation forces in Syria said early Wednesday they carried out airstrikes in eastern Syria on areas they claim are used by groups linked to the IRGC.

The strikes "took proportionate, deliberate action intended to limit the risk of escalation and minimize the risk of casualties," the US military's Central Command said.

"These precision strikes are intended to defend and protect US forces from attacks like the ones on August 15 against US personnel by Iran-backed groups," the statement read.

It is noteworthy that Syrian state media has accused over and over again the US and the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) armed groups of occupying areas in the vicinity of oil-rich fields, smuggling resources to Iraq, and then siphoning them out.

The United States has been for years supporting SDF militias against Damascus, and the US-backed forces are currently occupying parts of the provinces of Al-Haskah, Deir Ezzor, and Raqqa, where the largest Syrian oil and gas fields are located.

The actions carried out by the United States constitute state piracy with the aim of plundering Syria's oil resources and depriving the Syrians of their own resources amid a harsh economic situation caused largely by the occupiers, the Americans themselves.
