U.S., Israel Monitor Iranian Military Base in Syria
(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) The town of Bukamal on the Euphrates River in eastern Syria has become an Iranian military base that the U.S. and Israel have under "constant monitoring," Israeli sources said on Friday. "Iran established its base in Bukamal to launch attacks against U.S. forces deployed in eastern Syria, in addition to other targets inside Israel." Iran also established special training centers to instruct forces loyal to Tehran. "Iranian leadership centers and weapons stockpiles are also present at the Bukamal base....Iranians also built a telecommunications tower at the center of the town to link between its units and different facilities." A few days ago, "Eye of the Euphrates" published maps and detailed locations of 13 key Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) positions in Bukamal.
