Iran’s military bases in Syria, once a cornerstone of its regional strategy, now lie in ruins after an abrupt retreat. Iranian-backed forces, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), abandoned key positions, leaving behind weapons, documents, and personal belongings. The base in Khan Shaykhun, previously a strategic hub, is now occupied by Uyghur militants from Hayaat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Sensitive Iranian documents were found, revealing details about fighters. Iran's withdrawal marks a significant shift in Syria’s conflict dynamics, altering power balances in the region.
