The Syrian newspaper Al-Watan published reports that the American forces present at Ain al-Assad base in Anbar Governorate, western Iraq, intend to close the border strip with Syria.
It explained: “The American forces stationed inside Al-Tanf base building received military convoys coming from Ain Al-Assad base, in an indication of the existence of an unclear plan that is characterized by complete secrecy.”
Al-Watan pointed out that these American moves came days after Syria’s denunciation of the politicization of the “chemical file” by international organizations, and ignoring the full cooperation shown by Damascus with international investigators.
