ALWAGHT- According to informed sources, the US is conducting significant transfers of its special forces from Iraq to Syria.
Informed sources reported that US forces have launched a large-scale operation to relocate their special forces from the Al-Harir base near Erbil, Iraq, to Al-Hasakah, Syria.
The sources stated that the US special forces, stationed at Al-Harir for the past five months, have vacated their positions and transferred heavy equipment to a base near Al-Hasakah.
Reports suggest this covert operation is intended to reinforce military bases deep within Syria as part of a new occupation strategy, allegedly under the guise of supporting terrorist groups led by Al-Julani.
Reports indicate that the US is ramping up its military activity in the region, with the transfer of special forces from Iraq to Syria signaling a strategic shift in its regional operations. The relocation from Al-Harir base near Erbil to Al-Hasakah aligns with broader US interests in the area, particularly in securing influence over resource-rich and strategically vital territories in northeastern Syria.
Sources suggest that the transferred forces, along with heavy equipment, are being stationed at key military bases in Syria. These bases are reportedly being fortified to support a long-term occupation strategy, allegedly in coordination with local militant groups. This includes factions reportedly led by Abu Mohammad al-Julani, the head of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a group designated as terrorist by several countries. The move underscores a continued effort to exert control over Syrian oil fields and other critical infrastructure under the pretext of counterterrorism.
Observers have noted that this operation comes amidst growing regional tensions and increasing calls for the US to withdraw its military presence from both Iraq and Syria. The unannounced nature of the transfer raises questions about its implications for regional stability, as well as its potential to escalate conflicts involving Syrian government forces, allied militias, and other regional powers.
The situation is being closely monitored as tensions in the region remain high, with many questioning the long-term consequences of such maneuvers on both Syria's sovereignty and regional stability.
