US Begins Withdrawal from Key Base in Syria

The United States has begun withdrawing forces from a key base in Syria, which is under the control of Kurdish forces. The withdrawal began on Monday and was recorded by the French News Agency, which captured a convoy of dozens of trucks with military equipment leaving the Kasrak base, in the province of Hasakah. The Kasrak base is located on the border with Iraq and is one of the main bases of US forces in Syria. This withdrawal follows the withdrawal from two other bases in the last two weeks, in the southeast and northeast of the country. The reasons behind the withdrawal have not been clarified, but it is believed to be part of a broader US strategy to reassess its presence in Syria. This withdrawal could have significant implications for the security situation in Syria and the region.
