A security source in Anbar province revealed on Monday that the United States intends to redeploy its forces to Ain al-Assad Air Base in western Anbar in the coming period.
The source told Al-Maalomah News Agency, “Security leaks indicate Washington’s intention to redeploy its forces to the Ain al-Assad Air Base complex in the al-Baghdadi district of Hit, western Anbar, as part of the Trump administration’s plan to deploy hundreds of troops in Iraq.”
The source added that “the redeployment of US forces to Ain al-Assad Air Base came hours after the withdrawal of all US forces from Syria and the handover of their positions to al-Julani’s groups,” noting that “a US airborne force conducted an aerial reconnaissance operation over areas along the border strip with Syria towards the al-Baghdadi district in western Anbar.”
He continued, “A US airborne force previously carried out an airdrop operation in the al-Nukhaib district in western Anbar towards Karbala province.”
