TEHRAN (FNA)- The US has deployed its special forces in at least 7 bases in Northern Syria which are located in Qamishli, Ain Issa, Kobane, Hasaka and Tal Abyadh regions.
The Pentagon admitted last week that it has stationed its forces in Northern Syria but didn’t reveal any details.
Based on information obtained by FNA from media outlets and field sources, the 7 bases in which the US forces are deployed are:
1.The US forces are seeking to turn Rmeilan airfield in Syria's Northern province of Hasakah into their new operations room and build helipads in there.
2. Mabrouka village in the Western parts of Qamishli where at least 45 US special army forces have been deployed.
3. The French Lafarge cement factory, which is located between Kobane and the town of Ain Issa in Jalabiya in Northeastern Syria. Informed sources have reported that the US has increased the number of forces deployed in the region, adding that another base is being built for training the militants and helicopter landing.
4. Ain Issa base near a town in Northern Syria, which is hosting over 100 US forces.
5. Kobane base in Northern Syria in which more than 300 US special forces have been deployed.
6. Tel Byder base in Hasaka province and in the Western parts of Qamishli which is equipped with helipad for military helicopters. The US trains militants in this base.
7. Tal Abyadh base which has been the scene of most US forces' moves in Syria. At least 200 US special forces, equipped with armored vehicles, have been deployed in the region and the US flags have been hoisted above certain government buildings in the area.
No official report has been released yet about the exact number of the US forces and weapons transferred to the abovementioned bases but field sources have reported observing armored vehicles, semi-heavy weapons, TOW missiles, thermal cameras, advanced wireless devices and night goggles in them.
Reports said last month that the US has set up a new military base in Hasaka, Northeastern Syria, under the pretext of demining the region, Kurdish sources said.
"The US has deployed tens of its marines in Mabrouka village in the Western parts of Hasaka province under the pretext of demining Ra's al-Ain city which is now under the control of Kurdish forces," sources told FNA.
According to the Kurdish sources, the US forces have set up their base in one of the buildings of Syria's power department in Mabrouka named Housh al-Kahroba.
The Lebanese al-Akhbar newspaper reported in December that the US experts are reconstructing and equipping a desolate airport special to carrying agricultural products in the region controlled by the Kurdish forces in Hasaka region to turn it into a military base.
A number of US experts entered the region to develop and prepare the runways with 2,500m length and 250m width to be used by fighter jets.
Abu Hajar airport which has not been used since 2010 is located in Tal al-Hajar region in the Eastern countryside of Hasaka which is controlled by the Kurdish People's Defense Units (YPG).
The airbase is located Southeast of the town of Rmeilan, which is one of the YPG’s main strongholds and “largest arms and ammunition depots”.
The US has not received or even asked for a permission from Damascus for reconstructing the airbase. The United States does not have a UN mandate for intervening in the Syria war.
Fricking insanity. Let Syrians stew in their own feces!
We have absolutely no right to be in Syria. That is a violation of the UN charter. It is a violation of international law and we are committing war crimes. This needs to be stopped. It has ZERO congressional approval and is unconstitutional as HELL!! GET OUT!!
Yes, this must be top-secret information. I wonder why they did not include operational details as well along with dates and times??
Must not have been an intentional leak??? After all, we cannot allow anyone to get a jump on our enemies.
Anyone who enlists in the armed forces of the U.S. while these knuckleheads are in charge is out of his mind.
Lots of trip wires all over the place. There's going to be a shooting war with Russia within a month if the diplomats don't set up no fly zones.
what’s Obama doing now?!
Yes Obama has our troops there illegally, but you do realize that his SS code name is ‘Renegade.’ He’ll do what ever he pleases no matter how illegal it is.
Obama is going to start WW3 whether you like it or not. There’s a contingent here on FR that seem to be quite okay with that.
Is this the RED LINE that was painted in the desert.
Seems like the strategy is to provoke Russia, thereby putting Illary in a position to lambaste Trump as having “buddied up to Russa, our ENEMY..!!!!”
A NEEDLESS, IMPENDING WAR FOR ELECTION PURPOSES.
And it’s LEFTIES doing it..!
For decades it was what they accused US of.
Screwing up because he likes it.
So we have invaded Syria?
I am amazed at people who don’t see this illegality. We have no business in Syria!! What have they done to America? ARE WE ON THE SIDE OF ISIS? This is TREASON!!
I’d like to see a local DA charge a newspaper with treason for publishing this info. maybe it would tell the others to Shut the F##K UP!
The question is, “what hasn’t he been doing?”.
We’ve been in Syria for some time now. Someone has to arm and train those Syrian rebels (aka ‘moderate’ beheaders) and ISIS to oust Assad.
Take a look at these recent headlines.

“After all, we cannot allow anyone to get a jump on our enemies.”
Who are “our enemies” in your view?
Of course we are on ISIS’s side.
You want to charge an Iranian news agency with publishing it? Go ahead.
