American Air Movements Around Tishreen Dam.. and Arrangements East of Manbij
-
The direct American intervention in managing the dam reflects the importance of this vital facility and its impact on power dynamics in the eastern regions of the country
American military helicopters flew in the early morning hours today, departing from the Omar Oil Field, the largest international coalition stronghold in eastern Deir Ezzor countryside, targeting the Tishreen Dam area east of Manbij city.
This American aerial activity indicates the growing interest in securing vital facilities in areas east of the Euphrates, especially with the decline in military tensions.
Informed sources indicate that these movements coincide with an important anticipated meeting between representatives of the authorities in Damascus and a delegation representing the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), under American sponsorship, amid precise preparations related to managing the strategic dam.
The American mediation reflects Washington's attempt to control the threads of new balances in the region, especially after the cautious de-escalation with the Turkish side.
Reports indicate that the Self-Administration and the Syrian government have recently reached understandings, reported by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, stipulating the continued work of the technical staff currently supervising the dam without replacement, in addition to keeping "National Army" groups away from the surrounding area.
This agreement appears to be an advanced step toward establishing unprecedented cooperation between two parties whose relations have long been characterized by tension and mutual suspicion.
The agreement also includes forming mixed forces from the SDF and Syrian regular forces to ensure security around this vital facility. The concept of joint forces represents a notable development in the nature of the relationship between Damascus and the Self-Administration, especially amid escalating security challenges.
It's worth noting that a military convoy belonging to the international coalition arrived at the Tishreen Dam area during the past few days, accompanied by civilian representatives from the Damascus government and the Self-Administration, under heavy protection from elite Syrian Democratic Forces elements, while specialized teams continue maintenance work inside the important dam facilities.
This complex field coordination shows signs of a new phase of practical cooperation under international supervision, in order to secure vital infrastructure amid continuing political and military complexities.
