Iran�s Military Advisory Center in Syria warns the American occupiers of a stinging response to any attack against Iranian bases and forces deployed to the Arab country on a counter-terrorism mission.
In a statement issued on Friday, it said US forces launched a series of attacks from the al-Tanf base on civilian targets in Syria�s eastern province of Deir al-Zawr.
The targeted sites included depots of food supplies and medical equipment, the statement said.
Our mission�is assisting Syria in countering terrorists and Daesh, above all,� it said. �We warn the American occupiers that they will face a harsh response if they target our sites and forces in Syria.�
On Friday, a US contractor was killed and five US military service members and another contractor were reportedly wounded in a drone attack on a US military base near Hasakah.
The attack was attributed to what Washington called �Iran-backed� forces.
