Pro-Iranian media channels are circulating video footage purportedly showing the withdrawal of U.S. military forces from an American base in the Al-Hasakah Governorate of northeastern Syria. The footage is being shared as a propaganda victory, highlighting the ongoing contest for influence in the region. This development follows recent reports of a U.S.-led coalition withdrawal from the nearby Qasrak Air Base, which was subsequently taken over by Syrian government forces. The move signals a potential further reduction of the U.S. military footprint in Syria amid heightened regional tensions.
