US Withdrawing All Forces From Syria: Report
The US will withdraw 1,000 troops from Syria over the next two months as the Syrian government assumes counterterrorism duties and the Kurdish-led forces integrate with national army.
- On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported the United States is preparing to withdraw all roughly 1,000 troops from Syria, with the administration weighing a full pullback since January.
- Following a US-brokered agreement, U.S. officials say the pullback follows a deal to reshape Syria's security and integrate the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces into the Syrian army after clashes with the interim government.
- Earlier this month, U.S. Central Command reported transferring 5,700 ISIS fighters from Syria to Iraqi custody, and last week confirmed an orderly U.S. withdrawal from the al-Tanf base.
- The shift raises security concerns because Syrian government forces recently clashed with the SDF and seized Kurdish-held areas, while U.S. bases faced attacks by Iranian-backed groups, according to sources.
- Officials say the withdrawal is not tied to the buildup near Iran, while the USS Gerald R. Ford heads to the area, reflecting bolstered U.S. naval and air forces near Iran.
