U.S. Administration Withdraws All Troops from Syria Within Two Months

The United States has begun the operation of fully withdrawing its armed forces from Syrian territory. According to reports from the „Wall Street Journal” and CBS, the decision concerns all one thousand soldiers who have been stationed at strategic points in the country. The evacuation is to be completed within the next 60 days. U.S. officials indicate that the direct reason for this step is the stabilization of the new authority in Damascus, headed by Prime Minister Ahmed al-Sharaa. The administration of Donald Trump has concluded that the scale of the threat no longer requires a permanent ground contingent presence. The U.S. military presence in Syria began in 2014 as part of the international Operation Inherent Resolve, aimed at fighting jihadists from the Islamic State (ISIS).The process of withdrawing units has already begun. The U.S. military has left the key Al-Tanf base, located near the borders with Iraq and Jordan, and the facility in Al-Shaddadi. Control over these areas has been taken over by the Syrian army. However, this decision raises controversies in the context of combating terrorist organizations. Although the end of the major mission has been officially announced, representatives of the Pentagon stipulate that U.S. forces will maintain readiness to respond from air or sea if the threat from ISIS increases again. Moreover, this move comes at a time of high tensions in U.S.-Iran relations, although Washington denies that the withdrawal of soldiers is directly linked to plans for potential strikes on Tehran. 1000 — U.S. soldiers will leave Syria within two months A key element of the political puzzle was the agreement between the interim government and the Syrian Democratic Forces. The new authorities in Damascus have committed to taking responsibility for combating terrorism within their own borders. Middle East experts note that the American withdrawal radically changes the geopolitical situation, giving Russia, Turkey, and Iran greater room for maneuver in the region. Nevertheless, Washington is betting on a change in strategy, shifting the operational focus to naval and air forces stationed in the Mediterranean basin and the Persian Gulf.
