US to Consolidate Military Bases in Syria to One

The United States is reducing its military presence in Syria.

The plan is to eventually have only one base remaining.

This reduction is part of an ongoing effort called Operation Inherent Resolve, which started in 2014.

The US envoy for Syria, Tom Barrack, stated that this drawdown is happening.

Syria is currently facing security challenges under interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa.

The US is calling for different ethnic and religious groups to integrate, as the country remains divided.

The Pentagon announced a plan to reduce the number of troops in Syria.
