While it was not clear who had carried out the latest attack, Iranian-backed forces have targeted US forces in Iraq and Syria occasionally.
Syria's main oilfields are in areas controlled by US-backed forces and their proceeds are a major source of financing for the SDF forces.
Iranian-backed extermists are heavily concentrated west of the Euphrates River in Deir al-Zor province, where they get supplies from Iraq through the al-Bukamal border crossing.
