Syria denies Iran’s claims of attacking US baseThe reaction in Damascus is complete denial of any Iranian attack on the al-Tanf base or in the vicinity of the US -base on the Syria-Jordan border. Multiple sources in the interior ministry have said, confirming that there hasn’t been any attack by Iran on Syrian territory. They also say that US troops pulled out of the al-Tanf base in February of this year, that there is no presence of American soldiers in Syria. However it is notable that the Iranian claim comes just a day after Syrian authorities stopped a suspected shipment of weapons on the Syrian-Iraqi border that was allegedly headed to the Hezbollah group in Lebanon.
