Syria military source denies Iran bombed Al-Tanf base
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Syrian military source denies to AFP that Iran bombed the Al-Tanf base near Syria’s southeastern borders with Jordan and Iraq, after Tehran’s Revolutionary Guards said they targeted the facility in response to US strikes.
“We deny any Iranian bombardment targeting the Al-Tanf area,” the source says, speaking on condition of anonymity.
US forces said they withdrew from the base earlier this year after troops were stationed there as part of a US-led anti-jihadist coalition.
