Sources revealed on Wednesday that U.S. forces have withdrawn from the al-Tanf military base in eastern Syria, relocating their troops to Jordan. This decision marks a significant change in the U.S. military's strategy in the region.

The al-Tanf base, positioned at the tri-border area of Syria, Jordan, and Iraq, has been a strategic hub since its establishment in 2014. It served as a pivotal center for the global coalition's operations against Islamic State militants.

The evacuation and subsequent relocation could impact future military operations and geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East, given al-Tanf's crucial regional influence.
