flag U.S. lifts sanctions on Syria’s embassy, enabling reopening after years of closure.

flag The U.S. has lifted legal restrictions on Syria’s embassy in Washington, allowing it to resume diplomatic operations, according to Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani. flag The move, reportedly signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, follows a historic meeting between Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and President Donald Trump, the first by a Syrian leader in decades. flag The embassy had been effectively closed since 2014 due to sanctions tied to the civil war and Syria’s lack of cooperation. flag The decision marks a potential shift in U.S.-Syria relations, coinciding with broader diplomatic outreach by al-Sharaa.
