flag U.S. to withdraw 1,000 troops from Syria in two months, ending 2014-era mission against ISIS.

flag The United States is withdrawing all approximately 1,000 troops from Syria over the next two months, ending a decade-long military presence that began in 2014 as part of the effort to defeat ISIS. flag The move follows the transfer of key bases, including al-Tanf and Al-Shaddadi, to Syrian government forces and marks a strategic shift toward reducing direct U.S. military involvement. flag The U.S. says the Syrian government has assumed responsibility for security, including managing ISIS detention facilities, and that a continued presence is no longer necessary. flag The withdrawal is not linked to regional tensions with Iran, and the U.S. maintains the ability to conduct targeted strikes if needed. flag Syria has joined the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, and the U.S. continues to support partner-led efforts to prevent ISIS’s resurgence.
