US army plans to establish presence at Damascus airbase: Sources to Reuters

Six informed sources told Reuters that the United States is preparing to establish a military presence at an airbase in Damascus to help implement a security agreement mediated by Washington between Syria and Israel.

The U.S. plans to set up a presence in the Syrian capital, previously unreported, signal a potential reshaping of Syria’s strategic relations with the United States following the fall of Iran’s ally Bashar al-Assad last year.

The base is near parts of southern Syria expected to become a demilitarized zone under an agreement between Israel and Syria.

The agreement is being mediated by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
