US military forces and their allied Arab fighters evacuated the Zakf base in southern Syria and relocated to the larger Tanf base following a deal between the United States and Russia, rebel sources said on Tuesday. Zakf had been set up to stop the Syrian regime’s advance toward the Iraqi border from the north of Tanf. Most Iran-backed troops that support Bashar al-Assad's regime have since left the area around Tanf as the fighting has shifted to Deir ez-Zor.
