Suspicious US movements on the Syrian border coincided with the transfer of military equipment to Ayn al-Assad. Simultaneously with suspicious patrols and movements by US forces on the Iraqi-Syrian border, US military convoys carrying military equipment entered the Ain al-Assad base west of Anbar from Basra.
A well-informed Iraqi security source reported suspicious movements by US forces on the country’s border with Syria from the Iraqi Kurdistan region over the past two days.
In an interview with Al-Ma’loumeh news website, he said that US forces had been patrolling reconnaissance in joint villages on the Iraqi-Syrian border for the past two days through the Fish Khabur crossing. US military patrol vehicles have been operating on the Iraqi-Syrian border for the past two days.
Earlier, a well-informed local source reported that US forces were moving rare trees between Iraq and Syria from the Kurdistan Region.
Meanwhile, an informed security source in Al-Anbar province announced yesterday (Saturday, June 19) that American convoys carrying military equipment arrived at the Ain al-Assad base in western Anbar province and announced that these convoys had moved from Basra to Al-Anbar.
He added: “American convoys carrying military and combat equipment left Al-Basra province and arrived at Ain al-Assad airbase located in the al-Baghdadi district in western Anbar, and more details about the reason are not yet available.”
According to the source, the movement of these convoys was supported by American security companies and drones, and American forces are strengthening their presence at the Ain al-Assad base for unknown reasons.
He added that the movement of US troops from one place to another in Iraq is related to the office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces, Mustafa al-Kadhimi and that security forces based in the western part of the country have no information about the convoys.
All border crossings in Basra province, with the exception of Jarishan, are controlled by Baghdad. Despite nearly 18 years since the Iraq-Kuwait war, the Jarishan crossing is still under the control of the US occupation forces, with only the Iraqi border guards stationed there. It has no passage.
Due to Baghdad’s lack of control over the crossing, US forces are free to enter or leave Iraq through its traffic, equipment, and forces. Washington is said to be using the crossing to deliver logistical equipment to its forces at its bases in Iraq, including Ain al-Assad.
According to political and security observers, in addition to Jrishan, the United States also uses the illegal Al-Waleed crossing on the Syrian-Northern Iraqi border to move its military convoys, and American convoys consisting of dozens of trucks carrying weapons and logistics equipment can easily cross the crossing. They travel between Syria and Iraq.

But Ain al-Assad airbase is located 160 km west of Baghdad, in Anbar province, specifically in the city of Heath, and 8 km from a village called Al-Baghdadi House. The area of this base is 10 km, which is equal to the area of the green zone of Baghdad and is the largest base. It is the current US force in Iraq, of which Iraqi forces are a part.
