Washington drops Syria from terror list
The United States officially revoked Syria's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism on Monday after 47 years of continuous listing since 1979. This move follows the completion of legal procedures aimed at improving economic and financial relations between Washington and Damascus, and encouraging Syria's reintegration into the international financial system. This decision is an important step that ends decades of American sanctions and restrictions on Syria, which were based on allegations of supporting terrorist groups and its ties with Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah. Iran, Cuba, and North Korea remain classified by the U.S. as state sponsors of terrorism.
