The attack took place at 2am local time and targeted the bases of "takfiri terrorists" backed by America and regional powers in eastern Syria, the statement said. Iranian officials often use the word "takfiri" to describe Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) fighters.
The powerful military force said at least six missiles were fired into Syria. It added that seven drones were also used to bomb rebel targets during the attack, which killed a number of fighters and destroyed supplies and infrastructure used by the group.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had said the deadly Iran attack was linked to the United States' "allies in the region".

Farsnews on twitter is reporting that Iran has fired missiles on Syria in response for the Miiltary Parade attack

My concern is, people believe the last bastions of rebels are being supported by the US out of bases the US has spread of Syria..
If Irans launching missiles at the terrorists, potentially they're now firing on US
I cant find my info on it yet..

The missiles supposedly hit an IS-held town. The same territory is currently under attack by SDF/US forces.
So they are actually supporting US with that strike. Although afaik it is unknown whether they've actually hit something at all.

The Iranians are also claiming the missile strike was followed up by UCAV strikes, I’m highly skeptical of their estimates of damage caused by the strikes.

According to the reports I've seen, the Iranian drone looks like a reverse-engineered version of an RQ-170 Sentinel drone.

It was a report on Syria.liveuamap.com
Here is a link to the specific report. There's a short video there, but it's not clear where that came from.

The questions are the following :
Who are the terrorists?
Who can define rebels and terrorists between each entity?
Who can
Why should the USA be considered a victim « so to speak » on a war that no one asked the USA to intervene in yet again?
Who can
Just an honest question to those who want to take time to THINK first and answer!?

in this case - everyone who isnt syrian
Who can define rebels and terrorists between each entity?
Well, its looking pretty clear that the Russians opened corridors for the rebel fighters and terrorists to leave enclave after enclave and go to Idlib. They successfully flushed all the 'fighters' into this one town. The Russians and Syrians have been offering amnesty to all who surrender since the beginning, those who decide to stay in the town now are considered the last of the fighters.
