US to formalise military presence in Syria with new deal

A high-level American military delegation is set to arrive in Damascus in the coming days to sign an agreement with the Syrian government regarding the status of US military bases in the country.

This development marks a significant shift in US policy towards Syria, transitioning from an unauthorised military presence to a formalised, legal partnership.

According to a Syrian security source cited by Independent Arabia , the agreement will legitimise the American military presence in Syria with the approval of the Syrian government. The source stated that US forces will withdraw from all bases in northeastern Syria, including those in Deir Ezzor, Raqqa, and Hasakah.
