"They say that they will [leave At Tanf], but we do not know when," the source said.
On June 8, the US-led coalition bombed pro-Damascus forces near al-Tanf in the area of a deconfliction zone following an alleged attack by a combat drone resulting in no coalition forces' casualties.
The Russian Defense Ministry slammed the move, saying that it seems that the US-led coalition is more interested in bombing the Syrian army instead of fighting terrorists. It also accused the coalition and Syrian rebels it supports of "conspiring" with Daesh leaders by letting them leave encirclement and move to other areas.
Comment: Al-Tanf has become pretty much useless to the Americans after the Syrian army cut it off by liberating the country's borders to both sides of the base there. It was only ever a rebel stronghold that could potentially be used as a springboard for occupying the east of the country.
