Washington D.C. – In โขa dramatic shift inโค Middle East policy, the United States announced today that Syria, under its new leadership, will actively assist in confronting regionalโ threats posed by Iran, Hezbollah, and other terrorist networks. the announcementโ follows recent talks between President Donaldโ J. Trump and Syrian President Al-Sharaa, signaling a important thaw โin relations after decades of hostility.
The move marks a pivotal moment in the Syrian conflict, which saw the overthrow of long-time ruler Bashar al-Assadโ at theโ end of last year. Assad, a key ally โคof Iranโข and Hezbollah, had been ostracized by the West. โThis new partnership with the U.S. represents a complete realignment for Syria, transitioning it fromโค a perceived source of regional instability to โa partner in counterterrorism efforts. The development has far-reaching implications for โขthe balance of power in theโ Middle East and the ongoingโ fight against extremist groups.
According to a statement releasedโ byโฃ a white house spokesperson,Barrack,president trump and President Al-Sharaa “reaffirmed aโข shared belief: That the time has comeโ to replace alienationโ with engagement,and to giveโฃ Syria – andโ its people – โa real chanceโ for renewal.” Barrack further stated โคthat Damascus will “actively โassist us in โconfronting and dismantling theโ remnants of ISIS, IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard), Hamas, Hezbollah, andโ other terrorist networks,โค and will stand as โa committed partner in global efforts to secure peace.”
Syria’sโ commitment extends to joining the US-led global coalition against ISIS,a move hailed by the โWhite House as “a historic framework marking Syria’s transition from a source of terrorism to a partner of counterterrorism.” Al-Sharaa, in an interview with The Washington post last week, confirmed that Syrian forces had expelledโข Iranian and Hezbollah forces from its territory, โขpaving the way for a new era โขof cooperation with the United States.
