# U.S. officials: The United States will withdraw all troops from Syria

According to three U.S. officials, the United States is withdrawing all of its approximately 1,000 soldiers from Syria, thus ending a decade-long military operation in the country.

Two of the officials stated that the U.S. military had completed the withdrawal from the Al Tanf military base and the Al-Shaddadi base in northeastern Syria earlier this month, with the former being a strategic outpost located at the borders of Syria, Jordan, and Iraq. These officials said the remaining troops will withdraw from the remaining U.S. locations within the next two months.

The officials indicated that this withdrawal is unrelated to the current deployment of U.S. naval and air forces in the Middle East, which is aimed at responding to potential strikes against Iran in the event of failed negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program. Iran has threatened to retaliate against U.S. forces in the region if the U.S. conducts airstrikes.

The U.S. has amassed a large force near the Iranian coast, including an aircraft carrier strike group, advanced fighter jets, and other warships. The second aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford, is also heading towards Iran.

Two U.S. officials stated that the Trump administration has determined that the U.S. military presence in Syria is no longer necessary.

This is not the first time Trump has ordered a withdrawal from Syria. In 2018, during his first term as president, Trump announced military victory over ISIS and abruptly ordered the withdrawal of all approximately 2,000 U.S. troops from the country. Trump's decision faced strong opposition within his administration and prompted then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to resign.

Ultimately, Trump left several hundred soldiers in the country to protect oil fields, hoping to secure U.S. access to Syrian oil. However, Jim Jeffrey, who was the Trump administration's special envoy for Syria at the time, later stated in an interview that government members "were always playing tricks, not letting our leadership clearly know how many troops we had stationed there."
