U S removes Syria from terror list
The United States announced the removal of Syria from the list of state sponsors of terrorism after a 45-day review by Congress, which is considered a major step toward reintegrating Syria into the global financial and economic systems and enhancing investment opportunities there. This move comes as part of efforts to improve American relations with the new Syrian government led by President Ahmad al-Shar’a, as Washington believes that the Syrian government has taken positive steps to distance the country from international terrorism. However, Cuba, Iran, and North Korea remain on the list as state sponsors of terrorism, with restrictions still in place on aid, exports, and certain financial transactions. Syria had been designated as a sponsor of terrorism since 1979, a designation that persisted throughout Bashar al-Assad’s rule until it was lifted in July 2025, with sanctions remaining in force against human rights violators and related terrorist organizations.
