He clarified that canceling the state of maximum alert in the shadow of tensions in the region raises many questions, including whether this base has received the green light that it will not be on the list of targets or whether this decision is temporary.
Also, in the last two weeks, some informed sources reported that the Ain al-Asad and Al-Harir bases in Iraq were on maximum alert to deal with any emergency.
According to the observers, American soldiers in Iraq always anticipate attacks by Islamic resistance groups on their positions.
